Connect your technology

These guides provide instructions on getting your data set up in Immuta for the Marketplace and Governance apps.

1. Configure your Azure Synapse Analytics integration: Configure an Azure Synapse Analytics integration with Immuta so that Immuta can create policy protected views for your users to query.

2. Register Azure Synapse Analytics data sources: This will register your data objects into Immuta and allow you to start dictating access through Marketplace or global policies.

3. Organize your data sources into domains and assign domain permissions to accountable teams: Use domains to segment your data and assign responsibilities to the appropriate team members. These domains will then be used in Marketplace and policies.

Register your users

These guides provide instructions on getting your users set up in Immuta for the Marketplace and Governance apps.

1. Connect an IAM: Bring the IAM your organization already uses and allow Immuta to register your users for you.

2. Map external user IDs from Azure Synapse Analytics to Immuta: Ensure the user IDs in Immuta, Azure Synapse Analytics, and your IAM are aligned so that the right policies impact the right users.

3

Start using Marketplace

Private preview: The Marketplace app is available to select accounts. Contact your Immuta representative for details.

These guides provide instructions on using Marketplace for the first time.

1. Publish a data product: Once you register your tables and users, you can immediately start publishing data products in Marketplace.

2. Request access to a data product: Users must then request access to your data products in Marketplace.

3. Respond to an access request: To grant access to a data product and its tables, respond to the access request.

4

Add data metadata

These guides provide instructions on getting your data metadata set up in Immuta for the Governance app.

1. Connect an external catalog: Bring the external catalog your organization already uses and allow Immuta to continually sync your tags with your data sources for you.

5

Start using the Governance app

These guides provide instructions on using the Governance app for the first time.

1. Author a global subscription policy: Once you add your data metadata to Immuta, you can immediately create policies that utilize your tags and apply to your tables. Subscription policies can be created to dictate access to data sources.

2. Author a global data policy: Data metadata can also be used to create data policies that apply to data sources as they are registered in Immuta. Data policies dictate what data a user can see once they are granted access to a data source. Using catalog tags you can create proactive policies, knowing that they will apply to data sources as they are added to Immuta with the automated tagging.

3. Configure audit: Once you have your data sources and users, and policies granting them access, you can set up audit export. This will export the audit logs from policy changes and tagging updates.
