Copy Job in Microsoft Fabric is a data movement operation that enables users to transfer data from one location to another within the Fabric ecosystem or from external sources. It supports a wide range of connectors and formats, allowing seamless ingestion into OneLake, Data Warehouses, or Lakehouses. Copy Jobs are ideal for ETL/ELT workflows, data onboarding, and integration scenarios, providing a scalable and efficient way to automate data loading and refresh processes across environments.

Note

As now, access to Copy Jobs is controlled entirely through workspace roles (Admin, Member, Contributor, Viewer). There is no support for assigning permissions to individual Copy Jobs or managing them through SQL-like GRANT, REVOKE, or DENY statements.

Important

Workspace roles in Microsoft Fabric (Admin, Member, Contributor, Viewer) grant access to all items within the workspace, not just Copy Jobs. This includes Dashboards, Semantic Models, Data Warehouses, Notebooks, Pipelines, and more. There is currently no way to assign permissions to Copy Jobs individually, access is inherited from the user's role in the workspace.

Workspace Role	Access to Copy Jobs
Admin	Full control: create, edit, delete, monitor, and manage permissions for Copy Jobs.
Member	Can create, edit, and run Copy Jobs; can also share them with others.
Contributor	Can create and run Copy Jobs, but cannot manage permissions or share them.
Viewer	Can view Copy Jobs and their status but cannot create, edit, or run them.
