By default any user can download a copy of the data they query in a notebook. Is it possible to prevent this?

You can limit the ways that users can save copies of the data they have access to in a notebook, but not prevent it entirely.
The download button which exists for cells in Databricks notebooks can be disabled in the "Workspace Settings" section of the Admin Console. This will remove the easy download button from notebooks. However, users can still write copies of the data out to locations that they are able to access using the standard spark.write method.
