Data Products

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

Data products are what are published to the Data Marketplace by data product managers. They are typically highly curated and ready for consumption by the business.

They contain the following metadata:

• Name

• Description (optional)

• Subject matter expert (optional)

• Request form

• Data sources

Request forms

Request forms work as templates that can be added to multiple data products and dictate the same access request process for each. Request forms contain the following content:

• Form details: Details about the request form such as the name and request questions. Request questions are the questions a data consumer must answer to request access to the data product, and the answers will be recorded in the access request for the data steward to review. Questions can be answered in short answer, a dropdown, or checkboxes, depending on the configuration.

• Review flow: The review flow configures if the access request requires approval or not.

• Data use agreement: A data use agreement can optionally be included. If it is, the data consumer must acknowledge it before they can request access, ensuring they agree to how the data should be used.

• Linked data products: This is a list of all the data products in Marketplace that use this request form.

Data sources

Data sources represent any type of data that could be provided by a data product and registered in Immuta. These are currently tables and views from your data platform and objects from S3 storage. What data sources are available for the data product manager to add are dependent on the domain specified when publishing the data product.

Editing the data product

Note that all data product settings and metadata are point-in-time of when the access request was made and approved. For example, if you change the data use agreement for a data product after it was approved for five users, those five users would remain approved under the previous data use agreement. Said another way: Immuta only updates the data product with the changes for new requests, not approved or pending requests.
