Question

Options

• AEdit the Owner field in the table page by removing their own account
• BEdit the Owner field in the table page by selecting All Users
• CEdit the Owner field in the table page by selecting the new owner's account
• DEdit the Owner field in the table page by selecting the Admins group
• EEdit the Owner field in the table page by removing all access

• A
  8% (3)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  79% (30)
• D
  11% (4)

Explanation

Transferring table ownership to a single other user requires selecting that specific user's account in the Owner field (C) - this is a direct, targeted reassignment that Data Explorer supports through its ownership editing interface. Option A is wrong because simply removing your own account doesn't assign ownership to anyone else - ownership must always resolve to a principal. Option B (All Users) and D (Admins group) both assign ownership to a group, not a single user, which violates the requirement. Option E (removing all access) doesn't transfer ownership at all - it just strips permissions. Memory tip: Think of ownership like a relay baton - you don't complete the handoff by dropping it (A/E) or throwing it to a crowd (B/D); you pass it directly to the next runner (C).
