# 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.
