You can copy two types of URIs from the Database details card in your KQL database.

To share your KQL database, follow these steps:

  1. Select Share to create a link to the database.
  2. Manage the link permissions to ensure only authorized users can access it.
  3. Send the link to the authorized users.

Note

The shared link provides access to a single database. There is no bulk sharing option for multiple databases, and an Eventhouse can't be shared.
