Connector

OvalEdge connectors connect to source systems for metadata crawling and data profiling tasks. After establishing a connector (saving, validating, or crawling), the Security & Governance Admin (SGA) assigned during creation can view all connectors in the "Connectors Security" tab.

SGA Permissions: The SGA role has the highest permissions by default (Metadata Read-Write & Data Write) for any connector they manage.

OE_ADMIN Permissions: The OE_ADMIN role has pre-applied Metadata Read-Write & Data Write permissions for all connectors.

Integration Admin: The Integration Admin role (defined during connector creation) can edit connector details and perform actions like crawling, profiling, scheduling crawls, and deleting connectors.

Connectors Permissions and Governance

The "Connectors Security" allows SGA and OE_ADMIN roles to manage permissions and governance roles for connectors.

  • Add/Modify/Delete Permissions (Individual): Assign or adjust metadata and data access for specific roles or users on a connector.

  • Add/Modify/Delete Permissions (Bulk): Manage metadata and data access for multiple roles or users on multiple connectors simultaneously.

  • Define Role Access: Set metadata and data permissions for a specific role based on the license type.

  • Define User Access: Set metadata and data permissions for a specific user based on the license type.

  • Cascade Permissions: Inherit connector-level permissions for all data objects within the connector.

  • Define Admin: Assign a role as SGA for a connector, granting them the highest permissions, which are Metadata Read-Write and Data Write.

Governance Roles

  • Define Governance Roles: Specify mandatory governance roles during connector setup.

  • Update Governance Roles (Individual/Bulk): Modify governance roles for single or multiple connectors.

  • Cascade Governance Roles: Apply governance roles to all data objects within the connector (optional).

  • Delete Role Access: Remove permission assignments for roles on individual or multiple connectors.
