Exam DBDEA Topics: jobs Difficulty: medium

A production Lakeflow Job that publishes Unity Catalog tables was created by a senior data engineer who left the company last month. His user account has since been removed, and the job's nightly runs now fail with permission errors when reading the source tables. The job's code and schedule are correct. What should the team change to make the job independent of any person's account?
