Raise and track data access and revocation requests with ease using the brand-new ServiceNow integration! Once requests have been approved, tickets will be auto-created in ServiceNow, and you will be able to track their status directly in Atlan — ensuring full visibility without manual creation.

Here's how it works:

1. You must have the governance workflows and inbox module enabled in your Atlan workspace.
2. Your Atlan admin needs to set up the ServiceNow integration while working with a System Administrator of your ServiceNow instance with a security_admin role.
3. Once set up, you can use ServiceNow to request or revoke data access for governed assets in Atlan or any other data source!

✨ Let's dig deeper

Managing data access and revocation requests across multiple systems can be time-consuming and error-prone, often resulting in incomplete details or unnecessary back-and-forth.

Atlan makes this easy with the ServiceNow integration:

• Raise data access requests — ServiceNow can now be configured as an action within Atlan’s data access governance workflow. After approval, ServiceNow tickets are automatically generated with all the required details.
• Revoke data access — Atlan admins can now raise data access revocation requests for any user on a source, directly from Atlan. Once initiated, a ServiceNow ticket for the revocation request will be automatically created, streamlining the process.
• Real-time tracking — track the status of your ServiceNow requests in real time and right within Atlan, reducing delays and increasing transparency.

Introducing a new user role in Atlan — Workflow admin! This role helps your users manage connector workflows while having member-like access to other areas of the product. You can delegate workflow management duties without giving users access to the rest of the governance center or any part of the admin center.

✨ Let's dig deeper

The workflow admin subrole allows for:

• Enhanced delegation — you can delegate connector workflow management to specific users without giving them access to other admin capabilities.
• Improved security — a workflow admin will not be added to the “All admins” group on connections. This means that you have the ability to add a workflow admin to a connection only if you want them to manage the connection. With member-like access required for other areas of the product, your existing persona configurations will work seamlessly.

👏 Give it a shot

As an Atlan admin, you can head straight to the admin center and change the role of an existing user to that of a workflow admin or create a new user as a workflow admin. And as you try it, let us know what you think!

Introducing a new toggle in the admin center that allows Atlan admins to:

• Limit the view of all glossaries via glossary policies in personas 
• Unlock the ability to switch personas while viewing glossaries for their users

✨ Let's dig deeper

As an Atlan admin, you can turn on the Persona switcher for Glossary toggle from Labs in the admin center. This will allow your users to switch between personas while viewing glossaries. 

Once you have restricted glossary visibility:

• If a glossary policy has been configured for a selected persona, a user belonging to that persona will only be able to view the glossaries curated through glossary policies.
• If a user is not part of any persona, they will be unable to view any glossaries in Atlan.
• If a user is part of a persona that does not have any glossary policies or any policies configured, the user will be unable to view all glossaries.
• The restriction will be applicable to the Assets page, glossary tree, terms filter on the Assets page, terms in an asset sidebar, linked assets, and related terms.

👏 Give it a shot

Switch to better curation of your glossaries today by turning on the Labs toggle. And as you try it out, let us know what you think! Learn more: How to restrict glossary visibility.
