Short-Term Limitations

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

Marketplace is a public preview feature and has several known limitations that will be addressed by end of Q3 2025 or sooner.

Known short term limitations

Some obsolete subscription policies and their settings still exist

• Subscription policy type Allow anyone who asks (and is approved) is still available, but is obsolete, because you should be doing this in Marketplace instead. If you have some of these policies, we recommend the following:

  • Convert the data sources the policy targets to a data product.

  • Publish the new data products in Marketplace to allow users to ask for access.

  • Delete the previous Allow anyone who asks (and is approved) subscription policy.

• Subscription policy type Allow users with specific groups/attributes should still be used, but some of the settings are unnecessary with Marketplace:

  • Require Manual Subscription: If you are using this setting, instead use the following workaround:

    • Create a separate guardrail subscription policy that targets the same data sources:

      • The Allow users with specific groups/attributes requires you are in a group that contains no users (meaning it subscribes no one)

    • Uncheck the Require Manual Subscription option in the existing policy

    • Ensure all data sources this policy targets are published in the Marketplace in data products

    Once you complete those steps, the shorthand version of your merged policy per data source will look like this, achieving the same goal: Allow users to subscribe who are members of group [your original requirement] AND (are members of group [nobody] OR approved in Marketplace).

  • Allow Data Source Discovery: Instead of this setting, simply publish the data source to the Marketplace in a data product.

  • Request Approval to Access: Instead of this setting, consider converting the data sources these policies target to data products in the Marketplace, and allow the approvals to happen there.

Soon these obsolete subscription settings will be altered or deprecated.

Reports in the Governance app don't reflect Marketplace approval

The following reports in the Governance app are impacted:

• What users and groups are subscribed to this data source?

• What data sources is this user subscribed to?

• What data sources are users subscribed to?

Each of these reports has an Approvers column; however it does not represent Marketplace app approvals. It is only for the subscription policy Allow anyone who asks (and is approved) in the Governance app. Do not rely on the Approvers column in these reports for investigating Marketplace approvals. Instead, view the access requests page in the Marketplace app.

This limitation does not impact the user subscribed to the data sources, which is accurate in this report.

Limited audit

Marketplace actions are not audited yet; that is coming soon.
