Important
Genie Space sharing using OpenSharing is in Beta.
Use OpenSharing to share a Genie Space with users outside your organization. When you share a Genie Space, Azure Databricks creates a point-in-time snapshot of the space's data assets and instructions and makes it available to your selected recipients. Recipients can mount the share to create a local Genie Space pre-loaded with your data and instructions. See Mount a shared Genie Space.
Requirements
To share a Genie Space, you must have the following:
- The Genie Agent Sharing preview enabled at the account level. See Manage Azure Databricks previews.
- Set up OpenSharing for your account.
CREATE SHAREprivilege on the Unity Catalog metastore where the Genie Space's data is registered.CAN EDITor higher on the Genie Space. See Access control lists.SELECTon all data assets in the space. You must retain this privilege. If you lose it, recipients cannot access the shared data.- At least one recipient. See Create data recipients for OpenSharing (Databricks-to-Databricks sharing).
Share a Genie Space
In your Azure Databricks workspace, go to the Genie Space you want to share.
In the upper-right corner, click Share, then click the External tab.
In the Select recipients to share with field, search for and select the recipients with whom you want to share the space.
If no recipients exist yet, click Create new recipient. See Create data recipients for OpenSharing (Databricks-to-Databricks sharing).
Click Share.
Azure Databricks exports a snapshot of the Genie Space, creates a share containing all of the space's tables, instructions, curated SQL examples, SQL functions, and other configuration, and grants the selected recipients access. The snapshot is captured at the time you click Share.
Add more recipients
After the initial share is created, you can share the same snapshot with additional recipients:
- Go to the Genie Space and in the upper-right corner, click Share, then click the External tab.
- Search for and select the additional recipients with whom you want to share the space, then click Add recipients.
You cannot modify the data assets in the share after you create it.
View and manage the share
The share appears in the Shared by me list. The share's asset list is read-only. You can manage recipients and delete the share, but you cannot add or remove data assets manually. See Manage shares for OpenSharing.
Limitations
- Snapshot only: The share captures the Genie Space at the time you click Share and does not update when you change the space. All recipients see the same snapshot.
- Size limit: The Genie Space configuration must be less than 256 KB when compressed. Spaces that exceed this limit return an error when you attempt to share them. To reduce the size, shorten instructions or descriptions, then try again.
- Metric views: Genie Spaces that include metric views cannot be shared.
