Deleting a Data Share

Permanently delete a Data Share in Cloudera Data Catalog to remove it and revoke all associated user access.

Deleting a Data Share permanently removes it and immediately revokes access for all users who were granted access through it. The underlying Iceberg table assets are not affected. A Data Share can only be deleted when it is in Not Shared status. If the Share is currently published, you must put it into draft state first by clicking Modify.

You must have the DataShareAdmin resource role for the relevant environment.

  1. In Cloudera Data Catalog, go to Data Sharing and open the Data Share you want to delete.
  2. If the Data Share status is Shared, click Modify and then click Modify Share in the confirmation dialog to put the Share back into draft state.

    The Share details page reloads with Not Shared status and the Delete button becomes available.
