Add the Sigma synchronization capability

After you have created a connection to Sigma in your Edge site, you have to add the Sigma synchronization capability to the connection. This capability enables your connection to fetch, process, and synchronize Sigma metadata (workspaces, dashboards, datasets, data elements, and connections) into the Collibra Data Catalog.

Before you begin

• You created and installed an Edge site.
• You have created an Edge connection to Sigma.
• You have reviewed the Sigma workspaces or domains you plan to synchronize.
• You have a valid Sigma API token or service account with appropriate permissions.

Required permissions

• You have a global role that has the Manage connections and capabilities global permission.
• You have a global role that has the Catalog global permission.
• You have a resource role with the Configure external system resource permission, for example, Owner.
