About Stewardship

The Stewardship application, by default, simplifies the management of responsibilities by providing a clear view of the organizational structure in Collibra. By leveraging Stewardship, your team can streamline data governance processes, ensuring effective management and collaboration across your organization.

  • It enables you to create a community-based hierarchy, including specific domains tailored to the needs of each community. Within these domains, users can designate ownership, monitor, and manage business, data, technology and other types of assets seamlessly, all from one centralized location. This promotes clarity, collaboration, and efficiency.
  • Additionally, stewards can utilize tags to logically group assets of various types across communities or domains, enhancing organization and accessibility.

Tip To access the Stewardship application, you must have a global role with the Product rights > Data Stewardship Manager global permission. Additional permissions may be required for specific features in the Stewardship application.

You can enhance the Stewardship application through Guided Stewardship. Guided Stewardship is a Collibra product that introduces additional Stewardship features and an out-of-the-box operating model, designed to help organize data.
