Requirement

CREATE_S3_DATA_SOURCE Immuta permission

Prerequisite

Configure the Amazon S3 integration

Create a data source

1. Navigate to the Data Sources list page in Immuta.

2. Click Register Data Source.

3. Select the S3 tile in the data platform section.

4. Select your AWS Account/Region from the dropdown menu.

5. Opt to select a default domain to which data sources will be assigned.

6. Opt to add default tags to the data sources.

7. Click Next.

8. The prefix field is populated with the base path. Add to this prefix to create a data source for a prefix, bucket, or object.

   • If the data source prefix ends in a wildcard (*), it protects all items starting with that prefix. For example, a base location of s3:// and a data source prefix surveys/2024* would protect paths like s3://surveys/2024-internal/research-dept.txt or s3://surveys/2024-customer/april/us.csv.

   • If the data source prefix ends without a wildcard (*), it protects a single object. For example, a base location path of s3:// and a data source prefix of research-data/demographics would only protect the object that exactly matches s3://research-data/demographics.

9. Click Add Prefix, and then click Next.

10. Verify that your prefixes are correct and click Complete Setup.

A data source is how data owners expose their data across their organization to other Immuta users. Throughout this process, the data is not copied. Instead, Immuta uses metadata from the data source to determine how to expose the data. An Immuta data source is a virtual representation of data that exists in a remote data platform.

This section includes reference and how-to guides for registering and managing data sources.

Schema monitoring

The reference and how-to guides in this section describe schema monitoring and illustrate how to configure it for your integration.

When a data source is exposed, policies are dynamically enforced on the data, appropriately redacting and masking information depending on the attributes or groups of the user accessing the data. Once the data source is exposed and subscribed to, the data can be accessed in a consistent manner, allowing reproducibility and collaboration.
