Manage Data Sources and Data Source Settings
As a data owner, you can edit your data source settings and disable, delete, and re-enable a data source.
For other guides related to data source members and management, see the Related guides section.
Edit a data source
Navigate to the Overview tab.
Click the more actions icon in the upper right corner of the page and select Edit.
Change your settings in the data source workflow.
Note: Some settings cannot be changed once the data source has been created. In these cases, simply create a new data source with the new settings.
When completed, navigate to the end of the workflow and click Save.
Note: Some data sources may require the data owner to reconnect to the remote database before any changes to the data source can be saved.
For information on specific settings, see the Create a data source guides.
Bulk edit data sources
Data owners can bulk edit data sources.
Navigate to the data sources list page.
Select the checkboxes for the data sources you want to edit. Note that when editing a connection string using bulk edit, all data sources from that connection must be selected.
Select the action you want or click More Actions for additional options.
Confirm your edits by following the prompts in the modals that appear.
Disable a data source
Disabling a data source hides it and its data from all users except the data owner. While in this state, the data source will display as disabled in the console for the data owner and other users will not be able to see it at all.
Navigate to the Overview tab.
Click on the more actions icon in the upper right corner and select Disable.
A label will appear next to the data source indicating it is now disabled, and a notification will be sent to all users of the data source informing them that the data source has been disabled.
Enable a disabled data source
Navigate to the Overview tab.
Click on the more actions icon in the upper right corner and select Enable.
A notification will be sent out to all users of the data source informing them that the data source has been enabled.
Databricks Unity Catalog behavior
If you enable a data source and it has no subscription policy set on it, Immuta will REVOKE access to the data in Databricks for all Immuta users, even if they had been directly granted access to the table in Unity Catalog.
If you disable a Unity Catalog data source in Immuta, all existing grants and policies on that object will be removed in Databricks for all Immuta users. All existing grants and policies will be removed, regardless of whether they were set in Immuta or in Unity Catalog directly.
If a user is not registered in Immuta, Immuta will have no effect on that user's access to data in Unity Catalog. See the Databricks Unity Catalog reference guide for more details.
Delete a data source
Deleting a data source permanently removes it from Immuta. Data sources must first be disabled before they can be deleted.
Navigate to the Overview tab and click the more actions icon and select Delete.
Confirm that the data source should be deleted by clicking Delete.
A notification will be sent out to all users of the data source informing them that the data source has been deleted.
