🤓 Who can do this? You will need to be an admin user in Atlan to enable the use of bring your own credentials (BYOC) in general. Once enabled, you need to be a connection admin to enable BYOC on a specific connection.
Don't want to use a single shared service account to access data?
With bring your own credentials (BYOC) users need to provide their own credentials before they can query data. Each user's permissions in the data store itself are then applied to each query. This is helpful for organizations that have already invested in defining granular controls in their data stores. With BYOC you can reuse those controls without any extra work!
Atlan currently supports the following connectors for BYOC:
