Select Add Workspace.
Use the dropdown menu to select the Databricks Workspace Type.
Before creating a workspace, the cluster must send its configuration to Immuta; to do this, run a simple query on the cluster (i.e., show tables). Otherwise, an error message will occur when users attempt to create a workspace.
The Databricks API Token used for native workspace access must be non-expiring. Using a token that expires risks losing access to projects that are created using that configuration.
Use the dropdown menu to select the Schema and refer to the corresponding tab below.
Enter the Name.
Click Add Workspace.
Enter the Hostname, Workspace ID, Account Name, Databricks API Token, and Storage Container.
Enter the Workspace Base Directory.
Click Test Workspace Directory.
Once the credentials are successfully tested, click Save.
Enter the Name.
Click Add Workspace.
Enter the Hostname, Workspace ID, Account Name, and Databricks API Token.

Databricks API Token Expiration
The Databricks API Token used for native workspace access must be non-expiring. Using a token that expires risks losing access to projects that are created using that configuration.
Select Add Native Integration.
Use the dropdown menu to select the Integration Type. Follow one of the guides below to finish configuring your integration:
To configure Immuta to protect data in a kerberized Hadoop cluster,
Upload your Kerberos Configuration File, and then you can add modify the Kerberos configuration in the window pictured below.
Upload your Keytab File.
Enter the principal Immuta will use to authenticate with your KDC in the Username field. Note: This must match a principal in the Keytab file.
Adjust how often (in milliseconds) Immuta needs to re-authenticate with the KDC in the Ticket Refresh Interval field.
Click Test Kerberos Initialization.
Click the Generate Key button.
Save this API key in a secure location.
To enable Sensitive Data Discovery and configure its settings, see the Sensitive Data Discovery page.
By default, query text is included in native query audit events from Snowflake, Databricks, and Starburst (Trino).
When query text is excluded from audit events, Immuta will retain query event metadata such as the columns and tables accessed. However, the query text used to make the query will not be included in the event. This setting is a global control for all configured integrations.
To exclude query text from audit events,
Scroll to the Audit section.
Check the box to Exclude query text from audit events.
Click Save.
Deprecation notice
The ability to configure the behavior of the default subscription policy has been deprecated. Once this configuration setting is removed from the app settings page, Immuta will not apply a subscription policy to registered data sources unless an existing global policy applies to them. To set an "Allow individually selected users" subscription policy on all data sources, create a global subscription policy with that condition that applies to all data sources or apply a local subscription policy to individual data sources.
Click the App Settings icon in the navigation menu.
Scroll to the Default Subscription Policy section.
Select the radio button to define the behavior of subscription policies when new data sources are registered in Immuta:
None: When this option is selected, Immuta will not apply any subscription policies to data sources when they are registered. Changing the default subscription policy to none will only apply to newly created data sources. Existing data sources will retain their existing subscription policies.
Allow individually selected users: When a data source is created, Immuta will apply a subscription policy to it that requires users to be individually selected to access the underlying table. In most cases, users who were able to query the table before the data source was created will no longer be able to query the table in the remote data platform until they are subscribed to the data source in Immuta.
Click Save and confirm your changes.
Immuta merges multiple Global Subscription policies that apply to a single data source; by default, users must meet all the conditions outlined in each policy to get access (i.e., the conditions of the policies are combined with AND). To change the default behavior to allow users to meet the condition of at least one policy that applies (i.e., the conditions of the policies are combined with OR),
Click the Default Subscription Merge Options text in the left pane.
Select the Default "allow shared policy responsibility" to be checked checkbox.
Click Save.
Note: Even with this setting enabled, Governors can opt to have their Global Subscription policies combined with AND during policy creation.
These options allow you to restrict the power individual users with the GOVERNANCE and USER_ADMIN permissions have in Immuta. Click the checkboxes to enable or disable these options.
You can create custom permissions that can then be assigned to users and leveraged when building subscription policies. Note: You cannot configure actions users can take within the console when creating a custom permission, nor can the actions associated with existing permissions in Immuta be altered.
To add a custom permission, click the Add Permission button, and then name the permission in the Enter Permission field.
To create a custom questionnaire that all users must complete when requesting access to a data source, fill in the following fields:
Opt for the questionnaire to be required.
Key: Any unique value that identifies the question.
Header: The text that will display on reports.
Label: The text that will display in the questionnaire for the user. They will be prompted to type the answer in a text box.
To create a custom message for the login page of Immuta, enter text in the Enter Login Message box. Note: The message can be formatted in markdown.
Opt to adjust the Message Text Color and Message Background Color by clicking in these dropdown boxes.
Without fingerprints, some policies will be unavailable
These policies will be unavailable until a data owner manually generates a fingerprint:
Masking with format preserving masking
Masking with K-Anonymization
Masking using randomized response
To disable the automatic collection of statistics with a particular tag,
Use the Select Tags dropdown to select the tag(s).
Click Save.
Query engine and legacy fingerprint required
K-anonymization policies require the query engine and legacy fingerprint service, which are disabled by default. If you need to use k-anonymization policies, work with your Immuta representative to enable the query engine and legacy fingerprint service when you deploy Immuta.
When a k-anonymization policy is applied to a data source, the columns targeted by the policy are queried under a fingerprinting process that generates rules enforcing k-anonymity. The results of this query, which may contain data that is subject to regulatory constraints such as GDPR or HIPAA, are stored in Immuta's metadata database.
The location of the metadata database depends on your deployment:
Self-managed Immuta deployment: The metadata database is located in the server where you have your external metadata database deployed.
SaaS Immuta deployment: The metadata database is located in the AWS global segment you have chosen to deploy Immuta.
To ensure this process does not violate your organization's data localization regulations, you need to first activate this masking policy type before you can use it in your Immuta tenant.
Click Other Settings in the left panel and scroll to the K-Anonymization section.
Select the Allow users to create masking policies using K-Anonymization checkbox to enable k-anonymization policies for your organization.
Click Save and confirm your changes.
