Collibra¶
Overview¶
Collibra is a data governance and catalog platform where teams classify and tag data assets (databases, schemas, tables, and columns). The Privacera Collibra connector is a tag-only sync connector: it reads the tags assigned to assets in Collibra and applies them to Privacera (Apache Ranger, and optionally OMNI Metadata Service), keeping them synchronized as they change in Collibra.
The connector does not manage access, users, groups, roles, or permissions, and it does not perform data discovery or encryption. Its single job is to bring Collibra tags into Privacera. Once the tags exist in Privacera, you author tag-based policies that other access connectors (for example Hive, Trino, and Snowflake) enforce on the corresponding data.
A single Collibra connector instance can sync tags to multiple Ranger tag services at once — for example privacera_hive, privacera_trino, and privacera_snowflake — based on a simple mapping configuration.
The following features are supported -
| Feature | Supported |
|---|---|
 Tag Sync | Yes |
 Access Management | No |
| Discovery | No |
| Encryption | No |
How Collibra tags become policies
The Collibra connector only syncs tags. To control access using those tags, create tag-based policies in Privacera and let your existing access connectors (Hive, Trino, Snowflake, etc.) enforce them. See Tag Sync for the end-to-end flow.
