Domains discoverable as assets

🎉 What's new

Domains are now discoverable directly from the assets page in Atlan! No matter how a user navigates—whether through assets, products, or search—they’ll now encounter domains as a first-class entity, making domain discovery seamless across the board.

✨ Let's dig deeper

Previously, discovering domains depended on navigating through specific UI paths like the domain browser or the products section. With this update, domains are now fully integrated into the asset search experience.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Domains now appear in global asset search results
    You'll find them listed just like tables, views, and products—with a new domain-specific badge.
  • Searchable, filterable, and ranked
    Domains come with relevance-based ranking and can be filtered using the asset type selector.
  • Complete visibility
    Domain metadata—like name, description, and associated assets and products—can now be previewed from the asset results.

This means that no matter where users begin—searching for a product, asset, or table—they can discover and navigate to the relevant domain effortlessly.

Why this matters: This boosts discoverability, enables better context-switching, and helps users connect data assets to business concepts in just a few clicks.

👏 Give it a shot

Try searching from the global assets page and see how Domains now surface as part of your everyday discovery journey. Whether you’re starting with a table, a product, or just exploring—your domains are now right there with you!

Admin & Integrations

OAuth clients- a new way to leverage API access on Atlan

🎉 What's new

Introducing OAuth Clients in Atlan! You now have a more secure, scalable way to generate API tokens using client credentials—designed for modern authentication flows. With short-lived tokens and tighter control, this enhancement brings enterprise-grade security and flexibility to your integrations.

✨ Let's dig deeper

Head over to the Admin Center → API Access → OAuth Clients tab to get started.

Here's how the new OAuth flow works:

  1. Create a new OAuth application
    You’ll receive a Client ID and a Client Secret after setup.
  2. Secure your secret
    The Client Secret is shown only once at the time of creation. Make sure to store it securely—it's not retrievable later.
  3. Generate short-lived access tokens
    Use the Client ID and Secret to request an API token. These tokens are time-bound, ensuring better security.
  4. Regenerate anytime
    If the token expires, you can use the same client credentials to fetch a new one. No need to manually reset or rotate tokens unless needed.

This approach gives you:

  • 🔒 Improved security via short-lived tokens
  • 🔄 Repeatable generation without friction
  • 🛠️ Better control over API access points in Atlan

Tip: Use this flow when integrating Atlan with internal apps, pipelines, or external orchestration tools.

👏 Give it a shot

Create your first OAuth Client in the Admin Center and experience more secure and manageable API authentication. As always, we’d love your feedback on how this fits into your workflows!

Receive webhook events for changes in domains and products

🎉 What's new

Introducing webhook events for Domains and Products in Atlan! You can now set up webhook triggers for key events related to these asset types. This enhancement allows you to seamlessly integrate Atlan with external systems by sending real-time updates when changes occur—like domain creation, updates, or product modifications.

This unlocks powerful automation use cases across your ecosystem, helping you react instantly to events and maintain consistent data workflows.

✨ Let's dig deeper

To get started, go to the Webhook settings in your admin panel. You'll now see new options for Domains and Products in the list of event types. You can choose to enable events such as:

  • Domain Created
  • Domain Updated
  • Domain Deleted
  • Product Created
  • Product Updated
  • Product Deleted

Once enabled, Atlan will automatically send webhook payloads to your configured endpoint whenever one of these events occurs.

Webhook payloads follow the same structure as other Atlan event notifications and include details like the asset’s name, GUID, user who triggered the action, and a timestamp—making integration and automation simple and predictable.

Note: Ensure your receiving system is configured to accept and process the incoming payloads as expected.

👏 Give it a shot

Start leveraging webhook events for Domains and Products to streamline your workflows and keep your data operations in sync across tools. Already using it? Let us know what you think—we’d love your feedback!

View assets and products from subdomains at a domain level

🎉 What's new

You can now get a complete picture of all your assets and products within a domain—including those in subdomains! This enhancement to the domain overview makes it easier than ever to understand how your data is structured and distributed at a glance.

✨ Let's dig deeper

Navigate to any domain in Atlan, and you’ll notice an updated Overview tab. Alongside metrics like total assets and total products, you’ll now see a breakdown of where those assets live:

  • In domain – Assets and products directly housed in the current domain.
  • In all subdomains – A combined count from all nested subdomains.

This enhancement provides greater clarity and visibility into your domain architecture, helping you answer key questions like:

  • How many assets are centrally owned vs. distributed?
  • Are there hidden data silos in subdomains?
  • What’s the full footprint of this business domain?

Tip: Click into each section to explore the specific assets or products that contribute to the count.

👏 Give it a shot

Jump into your domain overview now and explore the new breakdown of assets and products! Whether you’re streamlining ownership or planning a cleanup, this enhancement gives you the visibility you need. Let us know how it helps!

Activity logs on personas

🎉 What's new

Introducing Persona Activity Logs in Atlan! You can now stay on top of everything happening within a persona—including updates to navigation preferences, policies, and more. This new feature helps you maintain visibility, track changes, and ensure consistency across your personas with a complete audit trail of actions.

✨ Let's dig deeper

Inside any persona, you’ll now see a brand-new Activity tab alongside Overview, Policies, and Preferences. This tab surfaces a chronological timeline of all recent activity tied to that persona—whether it’s:

  • A navigation preference being updated
  • A metadata policy being created or changed
  • A persona itself being modified

Each entry clearly shows:

  • What was changed
  • Who made the change
  • When the change occurred

This enables better collaboration, smoother reviews, and accountability across your data teams.

Note: Activity logs are automatically maintained—you don’t need to take any action to enable them.

👏 Give it a shot

Explore the Activity tab in your personas to track updates in real-time and never miss a beat! Have feedback or ideas? We’d love to hear how this helps you work better with personas in Atlan.

Supercharged Databricks Connector: System Tables + Incremental Syncs

🎉 What’s New

We’re excited to roll out System Table-Based Extraction and Incremental Extraction for Databricks System Tables in Atlan!

These upgrades deliver:

  • Faster, more accurate metadata extraction
  • Optimized performance for large-scale Databricks environments
  • Incremental syncs that keep metadata fresh without hitting performance bottlenecks

✨ Let’s Dig Deeper

1. System Table-Based Extraction

Atlan now supports metadata extraction directly from Databricks system tables.
This enhancement allows for deeper and more accurate visibility into your environment, especially beneficial for enterprises with vast data estates.
