Instead of registering schema and databases individually, you can register them all at once and allow Immuta to monitor your data platform for changes so that data sources are added and removed automatically to reflect the state of data on your data platform. ## How-to guides * [Manage connection settings](/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-a-connection/how-to-guides/manage-connection-settings.md): Change the object sync settings and manage user permissions for the connection. * [Deregister a connection](/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-a-connection/how-to-guides/deregister-a-connection.md): Delete a connection to disconnect it and all of its child objects from Immuta. * [Run object sync on a connection or object](/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-a-connection/how-to-guides/crawl-a-connection.md): Trigger object sync manually for the entire connection or a single object to sync your remote data platform objects with Immuta. * [Manage connection tags](/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-a-connection/how-to-guides/manage-connection-tags.md): Manage the tags applied onto your connection objects. ## Reference guides * [New connections](/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-a-connection/reference-guides/new-connections-reference-guide.md): This reference guide discusses the major concepts, design, and settings of connections. * [Connections](/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-a-connection/reference-guides/connections-overview.md): This reference guide discusses the major concepts, design, and settings of connections. * [Legacy to connections API changes](/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-a-connection/reference-guides/api-changes.md): Use this page to understand which connections endpoints to replace legacy endpoints in your automated scripts. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://documentation.immuta.com/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-a-connection.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
