We've tried using our standard service account, but it's not working. Our entire BI team is blocked on this integration for a major upcoming project, so it's quite urgent. Could you please provide a definitive list of the exact permissions and credentials needed on the Snowflake side to get this working? Thanks." }, { "id": "TICKET-246", "subject": "Which connectors automatically capture lineage?", "body": "Hello, I'm new to Atlan and trying to understand the lineage capabilities. The documentation mentions automatic lineage, but it's not clear which of our connectors (we use Fivetran, dbt, and Tableau) support this out-of-the-box. We need to present a clear picture of our data flow to leadership next week. Can you explain how lineage capture differs for these tools?" }, { "id": "TICKET-247", "subject": "Deployment of Atlan agent for private data lake", "body": "Our primary data lake is hosted on-premise within a secure VPC and is not exposed to the internet. We understand we need to use the Atlan agent for this, but the setup instructions are a bit confusing for our security team. This is a critical source for us, and we can't proceed with our rollout until we get this connected. Can you provide a detailed deployment guide or connect us with a technical expert?" }, { "id": "TICKET-248", "subject": "How to surface sample rows and schema changes?", "body": "Hi, we've successfully connected our Redshift cluster, and the assets are showing up. However, my data analysts are asking how they can see sample data or recent schema changes directly within Atlan without having to go back to Redshift. Is this feature available? I feel like I'm missing something obvious." }, { "id": "TICKET-249", "subject": "Exporting lineage view for a specific table", "body": "For our quarterly audit, I need to provide a complete upstream and downstream lineage diagram for our core `fact_orders` table. I can see the lineage perfectly in the UI, but I can't find an option to export this view as an image or PDF. This is a hard requirement from our compliance team and the deadline is approaching fast. Please help!" }, { "id": "TICKET-250", "subject": "Importing lineage from Airflow jobs", "body": "We run hundreds of ETL jobs in Airflow, and we need to see that lineage reflected in Atlan. I've read that Atlan can integrate with Airflow, but how do we configure it to correctly map our DAGs to the specific datasets they are transforming? The current documentation is a bit high-level." }, { "id": "TICKET-251", "subject": "Using the Visual Query Builder", "body": "I'm a business analyst and not very comfortable with writing complex SQL.

Is there a tutorial or a quick guide you can point me to?" }, { "id": "TICKET-252", "subject": "Programmatic extraction of lineage", "body": "Our internal data science team wants to build a custom application that analyzes metadata propagation delays. To do this, we need to programmatically extract lineage data from Atlan via an API. Does the API expose lineage information, and if so, could you provide an example of the endpoint and the structure of the response?" }, { "id": "TICKET-253", "subject": "Upstream lineage to Snowflake view not working", "body": "This is infuriating. We have a critical Snowflake view, `finance.daily_revenue`, that is built from three upstream tables. Atlan is correctly showing the downstream dependencies, but the upstream lineage is completely missing. This makes the view untrustworthy for our analysts. We've re-run the crawler multiple times.

This is a huge problem for us." }, { "id": "TICKET-254", "subject": "How to create a business glossary and link terms in bulk?", "body": "We are migrating our existing business glossary from a spreadsheet into Atlan. We have over 500 terms. Manually creating each one and linking them to thousands of assets seems impossible. Is there a bulk import feature using CSV or an API to create terms and link them to assets? This is blocking our entire governance initiative." }, { "id": "TICKET-255", "subject": "Creating a custom role for data stewards", "body": "I'm trying to set up a custom role for our data stewards.

How can I create a new role with this specific set of permissions?" }, { "id": "TICKET-256", "subject": "Mapping Active Directory groups to Atlan teams", "body": "Our company policy requires us to manage all user access through Active Directory groups.

How is this configured?" }, { "id": "TICKET-257", "subject": "RBAC for assets vs. glossaries", "body": "I need clarification on how Atlan's role-based access control works.

What authentication methods are supported? Is it just API keys, or can we use something like OAuth?

I need to understand what types of events (e.g., asset updated, term created) can trigger a webhook. Also, how do we validate that the incoming payloads are genuinely from Atlan? Do you support payload signing?" }, { "id": "TICKET-268", "subject": "Triggering an AWS Lambda from Atlan events", "body": "We have a workflow where we want to trigger a custom AWS Lambda function whenever a specific Atlan tag (e.g., 'PII-Confirmed') is added to an asset.

I'm trying to decide if I should use this to manage a workflow or if I should use an external service like Zapier or our own Airflow instance.

I need to fix this ASAP." }, { "id": "TICKET-271", "subject": "Asset extracted but not published to Atlan", "body": "This is very strange. I'm looking at the crawler logs, and I can see that the asset 'schema.my_table' was successfully extracted from the source. However, when I search for this table in the Atlan UI, it doesn't appear.
