Atlan

Set up access request links in Atlan

Using the Immuta workflow in Atlan automatically adds links to all of your assets and data products. The Atlan workflow supports the following types of access requests:

• Asset access

• Masking exceptions: The masking exceptions access request link will only appear if the object has a column masked.

• Data product access: For data products to be properly linked, you must have a mirrored data product in Immuta with the same ID as in Atlan.

The workflow is point-in-time, but you can schedule it to run periodically to capture new objects added to Atlan.

Data stewards

To fully integrate your Atlan solution, add your Atlan asset owners as data stewards in your request forms. See the Review flows reference page for more details.

   3. Support requesting masking exceptions on masked columns: When selected, the workflow will generate Immuta request URLs for requesting access to masked columns, this requires that the Request PAT is set.

6. Ensure the Host is correct: app.immutacloud.com
