Immuta Integrations

Immuta does not require users to learn a new API or language to access protected data. Instead, Immuta integrates with existing tools and ongoing work while remaining invisible to downstream consumers.

The following data platforms integrate with Immuta:

• Snowflake integration: With this integration, policies administered in Immuta are pushed down into Snowflake as Snowflake governance features (row access policies and masking policies).

• Databricks:

  • Databricks Unity Catalog integration: This integration allows you to manage multiple Databricks workspaces through Unity Catalog while protecting your data with Immuta policies. Instead of manually creating UDFs or granting access to each table in Databricks, you can author your policies in Immuta and have Immuta manage and enforce Unity Catalog access-control policies on your data in Databricks clusters or SQL warehouse.

  • Databricks Spark integration: This integration enforces policies on Databricks tables registered as data sources in Immuta, allowing users to query policy-enforced data on Databricks clusters (including job clusters). Immuta policies are applied to the plan that Spark builds for users' queries, all executed directly against Databricks tables.

• Google BigQuery: In this integration, Immuta generates policy-enforced views in your configured Google BigQuery dataset for tables registered as Immuta data sources.

• Starburst (Trino) integration: The Starburst (Trino) integration allows you to access policy-protected data directly in your Starburst (Trino) catalogs without rewriting queries or changing your workflows. Immuta policies are translated into Starburst (Trino) rules and permissions and applied directly to tables within your existing catalogs.

• Redshift integration: With the Redshift integration, Immuta applies policies directly in Redshift. This allows data analysts to query their data directly in Redshift instead of going through a proxy.

• Azure Synapse Analytics integration: The Azure Synapse Analytics integration allows Immuta to apply policies directly in Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pools without needing users to go through a proxy. Instead, users can work within their existing Synapse Studio and have per-user policies dynamically applied at query time.

• Amazon S3 integration: The Amazon S3 integration allows users to apply subscription policies to data in S3 to restrict what prefixes, buckets, or objects users can access. To enforce access controls on this data, Immuta creates S3 grants that are administered by S3 Access Grants, an AWS feature that defines access permissions to data in S3.

Policy support

Certain policies are unsupported or supported with caveats*, depending on the integration:

*Supported with caveats:

• On Databricks data sources, joins will not be allowed on data protected with replace with NULL or constant policies.

• Databricks Unity Catalog ARRAY, MAP, or STRUCT type columns only support masking with NULL.

• On Starburst data sources, the Immuta @iam function for WHERE clause policies can block the creation of views.

For details about each of these policies, see the Policies in Immuta page.

Audit support for platform queries
