Create an Azure Data Lake Storage connection to an Edge site

Before you begin

In Azure:
- To integrate ADLS folders, you need an Azure Service Principal user that is defined in Azure and that has permissions to list the files which need to be integrated into Collibra. The Azure Service Principal user must have the "Reader" and "Storage Blob Data Reader" roles for the storage locations of your data. For information, go to the Azure documentation.
- If you use Microsoft Purview:
  - The Azure Service Principal user must have the "Data reader" role to fetch entities/assets from the Microsoft Purview Rest API. For information, go to the Microsoft Purview documentation.
  - If your ADLS storage is private, make sure that the Allow Azure services on the trusted services list to access this storage account checkbox in the Networking → Firewalls and virtual networks is selected.
You have created and installed an Edge site.
You have given the Edge Site role the required permissions.

You have a global role that has the Manage connections and capabilities global permission, for example, Edge integration engineer.
