How to transfer your data to another project with SD Connect

Use case

You (Team A) have datasets that other team (Team B) needs access to. They wish to view your data and analyse it in their own environment. You are willing to give them a copy of your dataset.

Solution

In this case you can share your data to Team B with Transfer data -permission. This allows Team B members to view your data, copy it and download the copy for themselves. Team B can have their own copy for analysis without affecting your original dataset.
