Set up MicroStrategy

The following permissions apply only to MicroStrategy on-premises customers.

• You need Admin API permissions.
  The first call we make to MicroStrategy is to authenticate. We connect to <MSTR URL>:<Port>/MicroStrategyLibrary/api-docs/ and use POST api/auth/login. You have to ensure that this API call can be made successfully.
• You need permissions to access the library server.
• The lineage harvester uses port 443. If the port is not open, you also need permissions to access the repository.
• If you have a MicroStrategy on-premises environment, you need the permissions for all of the database objects that the lineage harvester accesses.
• You have to configure the MicroStrategy Modeling Service. For complete information, see the MicroStrategy documentation.
• Necessary permissions to all database objects that the lineage harvester accesses.

  Azure Data Factory	Ensure that you meet the Azure Data Factory-specific permissions described in Set up Azure Data Factory.
  Azure SQL server	You need read access on the SYS schema.
  Azure Synapse Analytics	SELECT, at table level. Grant this to every table for which you want to create a technical lineage.
  Google BigQuery	If you are using the lineage harvester, you need read access on information_schema: bigquery.datasets.get bigquery.tables.get bigquery.tables.list bigquery.jobs.create bigquery.routines.get bigquery.routines.list If you are using Edge, you also need: resourcemanager.projects.get bigquery.readsessions.create bigquery.readsessions.getData

  Matillion	You have at least a Matillion Enterprise license. You have generated the Matillion certificate. Ensure that the certificate is signed by a certificate authority. Self-signed certificate is not supported when you create technical lineage via Edge. You have added the Matillion certificate to a Java truststore. For more information about adding a certificate to a Java truststore, go to Add a Certificate to a Truststore Using Keytool.
  Microsoft SQL Server	You need read access on the SYS schema and the View Definition Permission in your SQL Server.
  MySQL	SELECT, at table level. Grant this to every table for which you want to create a technical lineage.

  PostgreSQL	GRANT SELECT, at table level. Grant this to every table for which you want to create a technical lineage. The role of the user that you specify in the username property in lineage harvester configuration file must be the owner of the views in PostgreSQL.
  Snowflake	The following permissions are required, regardless of the ingestion mode: SQL or SQL-API. You need a role that can access the Snowflake shared read-only database. To access the shared database, the account administrator must grant the IMPORTED PRIVILEGES privilege on the shared database to the user that runs the lineage harvester. If the default role in Snowflake does not have the IMPORTED PRIVILEGES privilege, you can use the customConnectionProperties property in the lineage harvester configuration file to assign the appropriate role to the user. For example: "customConnectionProperties": "role=METADATA"
  Teradata	You need read access on the DBC.
