Hello @FanMichelleTW ,

Yes, this is most likely a limitation of the Databricks Free Edition. According to the documentation, this edition is intended for non-commercial use and includes several feature restrictions.

In Delta Sharing, a recipient is an object that represents a user or group authorized to consume shared data. Since creating or managing recipients implies sharing data externally, it’s expected that this capability is disabled in the free tier to prevent commercial or multi-user scenarios.

So, yes probably “Use Recipient” permission and full Delta Sharing functionality are only available in paid (workspace) editions of Databricks.

Hope this helps, 🙂
