Azure Data Factory integration preflight checks

To ensure successful metadata ingestion and lineage generation, complete the following preflight checks.

In your Azure Data Factory environment

You've registered Azure Data Factory in the Azure Portal and assigned the necessary permissions and access, as described in described in Set up Azure Data Factory.

In your Collibra environment

Lineage enablement

• Technical lineage via Edge is enabled in your Collibra environment.

Edge

• You either created and installed an Edge site or were granted a Collibra Cloud site.
  
  Important If you're using a Collibra Cloud site, go the Collibra Cloud site documentation to check if your data source is supported.
• The Edge site status must be Healthy.
• You've registered the data source via Edge.

Network and proxy configuration

• Edge can connect to all Collibra Data Lineage service instances in your geographic location.
• Optionally, you've connected to a proxy server.
• Optionally, use a custom certificate to allow the Edge capability to connect to your data source. In this case, you've saved the certificate as "ca.pem" in the same directory as the Edge site installer. If you've saved the certificate in another directory, use the --ca argument in the Edge site installation command.

Collibra permissions

You can connect to Collibra Data Lineage by using the basic or OAuth authentication method. The following permissions are required only if you use the basic authentication method. 

• A global role with the following global permissions:
  • Data Stewardship Manager
  • Manage all resources
  • System administration
  • Technical lineage
• A resource role with the following resource permissions on the community level in which you created the domain:
  • Asset > Add
  • Attribute > Add
  • Domain > Add
  • Attachment > Add

To connect to Collibra Data Lineage service instances via OAuth authentication:

• You have a global role with the Product Rights > System administration global permission.
• You have a global role that has the Manage Edge sites global permission.
• You have a global role that has the Manage connections and capabilities global permission.

To create an Azure Data Factory connection:

• You have a global role with the Product Rights > System administration global permission.
• You have a global role that has the Manage Edge sites global permission.
• You have a global role that has the Manage connections and capabilities global permission.
You have added a vault to your Edge site.
Note  Vaults are not supported on Collibra Cloud sites.
If your data source connection requires a file from your vault, the file must be encoded into Base64 and stored as a regular secret in your vault.

To add an Edge capability:

• You have a global role with the Product Rights > System administration global permission.
• You have a global role that has the Manage connections and capabilities global permission, for example, Edge integration engineer.

To synchronize technical lineage:

• A global role that has the following global permission:
  • Catalog, for example Catalog Author
  • View Edge connections and capabilities
• A resource role with Configure external system resource permission, for example Owner.
• Data source-specific permissions.
