Enable external data sharing in a Fabric tenant

  • Article

This article is intended for Fabric administrators who want to enable external data sharing in their Fabric tenant.

External data sharing involves two tenants - a providing tenant where the data to be shared is located, and the consuming tenant, where the shared data is consumed. For external data sharing to work, it must be enabled on both tenants as described in this article.
