# General Immuta Configuration

## Who is this for?

This guide is for anyone ready to begin their journey with Immuta who isn't using Snowflake.

If you are using Snowflake with Immuta, see the [Monitor and secure sensitive data platform query activity](https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.3/detect-your-activity/getting-started/overview) use case.

## Goals

This use case provides the basics for setting up Immuta and helps you understand the logic and decisions behind the tasks.

## Configuration steps

Follow these steps to configure Immuta:

1. Configure your users in Immuta, using the [user identity best practices](https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.3/detect-your-activity/getting-started/overview/user-identity-best-practices).
2. Read the [integration architecture overview](https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.3/detect-your-activity/getting-started/general-immuta-configuration/native-integration) and connect Immuta to your databases. Consider the [Databricks roles best practices](https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.3/detect-your-activity/getting-started/general-immuta-configuration/dbx-roles-best-practices) if using Databricks.
3. [Register data sources](https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.3/detect-your-activity/getting-started/general-immuta-configuration/registering-metadata) in order to start using Immuta features on the data sources.
