Integrating SailPoint with DataHub

DataHub is a metadata management platform that brings data discovery, lineage tracking, governance, and observability together into one operational view. Rather than requiring teams to piece together separate catalogs, lineage trackers, and access-control systems, DataHub ships as an extensible solution where automated metadata ingestion, a searchable catalog, and real-time lineage graphs work out of the box, letting data teams keep tabs on databases, data warehouses, pipelines, and dashboards without stacking multiple specialized tools on top of each other. This document provides the instructions required to configure a new direct connection between SailPoint and DataHub. For a reference to the terminology specific to SailPoint products, refer to Source and Connector Definitions.

Note

To view the latest features, enhancements, and fixes for all SaaS connectors, refer to the SaaS Release Notes page.

Supported Features

The DataHub connector supports the following:

Account Management

  • Aggregate Users

Entitlement Management

Note

User roles and groups are captured as part of the Account aggregation itself (embedded within each Account User record), so a separate Entitlement aggregation is not required.

Note

This connector is read-only. It supports test connection and account aggregation for Quick Compliance. Provisioning, de-provisioning, and write operations are not supported.

Important

Quick Compliance connectors have the following manual aggregation limits within a 24-hour period:

  • Organization Admins: Limited to 3 manual account or entitlement aggregations per day per source. This limit is cumulative across all admins in the organization.
  • Regular Users: Limited to 1 manual account or entitlement aggregation per day per source.

These limits ensure that individual compliance statuses are kept up to date while maintaining continuous compliance monitoring. If you need to run additional aggregations beyond these limits, contact SailPoint Support.

Prerequisites

Before you configure the DataHub connector, ensure the following requirements are met:

  1. Sign in to your DataHub instance.
  2. Select your profile icon (or go to the admin menu) and open Settings.
  3. Go to Access Tokens and select Generate new token.
  4. Copy and store the generated token securely.
