Policy Certifications and Diffs

Required permissions

To manage and apply existing policies to data sources, a user must have either the CREATE_DATA_SOURCE Immuta permission or be manually assigned the owner role on a data source.

Create a custom certification for a global policy

Data governors can add certifications that outline acknowledgements or require approvals from data owners. For example, data governors could add a custom certification that states that data owners must verify that tags have been added correctly to their data sources before certifying the policy.

1. Click Add Certification in the data policy builder.

2. Enter a Certification Label and Certification Text in the corresponding fields of the dialog that appears.

3. Click Save.

Certify global policies

After a policy with a certification requirement is applied to a data source, data owners will receive a notification indicating that they need to certify the policy.

1. Navigate to the Policies tab of the affected data source, and review the policy in the Data Policies section.

2. Click Certify Policy.

3. In the Policy Certification modal, click Sign and Certify.

View policy diffs

Once you have a data policy in effect, you can view the changes in your policies by clicking the Policy Diff button in the data policies section on a data source's policies tab.

The Policy Diff button displays previous policies and the current policy applied to the data source.
