Is there the way to transfer lakehouse ownership?

[NipawanV]

Inactive user created and owned this lakehouse where we published curated data.  I got the problem to refresh the data and got the error message when try to get the data from lakehouse in this workspace.  
here is the error message:

Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] Microsoft SQL: Encountered operating system error 5(Access is denied.) while attempting to read physical metadata.

Hi @NipawanV Went through the same issue. The only way to change the ownership of a lakehouse is to log a Support ticket with Microsoft. This was confirmed by the MS Support Team as well.

Maybe your wishes have been granted.
I think Microsoft introduced something you'll like.

Probably you will have to open a support ticket with Microsoft.

But before that, have a go at this.

The article is specific for warehouses but you would never know

Good suggestion, but I went down this path with a similar issue concerning multiple artefact-types, see my experience so far below.

Changing ownership through running this PowerShell-script (adjusted to artefact type) outcome:

• Did worked for: Warehouses, Deployment Pipeline, SQL Analytics Endpoint
• Did not work for: Lakehouse, notebook, ADF pipeline.

For the above issue with a lakehouse we are to submit a ticket with Ms as well.
