Access Requests on BI Assets
🎉 What's new
Access requests just got better!
You can now request access to BI assets directly within Atlan—just like you do for tables, views, and other data assets. Whether it's a dashboard in Power BI or a workbook in Tableau, this update helps streamline how users gain access to governed BI assets in your workspace.
✨ Let’s dig deeper
Here’s what this means for your data consumers and stewards:
🔓 Request Access on BI Assets
Users can now initiate access requests from:
- BI dashboards
- Reports
- Workbooks
All these assets now show a "Request Access" button in Atlan, making governed BI assets part of the self-serve experience.
🛠️ Flexible Fulfillment Options
Once a request is raised, access can be granted using one of the following methods:
- ✅ JIRA ticket generation
- ✅ ServiceNow ticket generation
- ✅ Webhook with a customizable payload
This ensures your existing IT and approval workflows remain fully in control.
⚠️ SQL + BI Assets? Here’s the catch.
If a request includes both SQL and BI assets, then:
- SQL assets may be fulfilled automatically via Atlan’s Insights module (if enabled)
- BI assets, however, will follow the external fulfillment process (JIRA/ServiceNow/Webhook)
This ensures compliance and auditability, while allowing flexibility in how access is granted across asset types.
Note: Fulfillment for BI assets does not currently support direct access provisioning inside Atlan.
