Exporting Configurations

You can export connector configurations in three different ways. Exports are useful if you want to back up your configurations or reuse them in other Privacera Manager deployments.

1. Exporting All Configurations (YAML)

Use Case: Ideal when you need to back up or transfer the entire set of connector configurations at once. The resulting YAML files can be used via the Privacera Manager terminal.

Steps:

  1. In the Portal for Self-Managed, navigate to Settings > Applications.
  2. On the Applications screen, select the BigQuery.
  3. Click the Download All Configuration button.
  4. A zipped file will be downloaded. Inside, you’ll find folders for each connector, each containing a .yml configuration file.
  5. You can use these .yml files in Privacera Manager via terminal to re-import or restore your configurations as needed.

2. Exporting a Single YAML Configuration File

Use Case: Ideal when you only need to back up or transfer the configuration of a single connector. The resulting YAML file can be used via the Privacera Manager terminal.

Steps:

  1. In the Portal for Self-Managed, go to Settings > Applications.
  2. On the Applications screen, select the BigQuery. You should be able to see the table with connectors.
  3. On the BigQuery Applications screen, locate the connector you want to export.
  4. From the table listing, click the Download icon in the connector’s action menu.
  5. A zip file will be downloaded, containing a single folder for that connector with its .yml configuration file inside.
  6. You can use this .yml file in Privacera Manager via terminal to re-import or restore this single connector’s configuration.

3. Exporting a Single JSON Configuration File

Use Case: Useful if you prefer to work directly with JSON or want to re-import the configuration directly via the portal.

Steps:

  1. In the Portal for Self-Managed, go to Settings > Applications.
  2. On the Applications screen, select the BigQuery. You should be able to see the table with connectors.
  3. Now, on click the name of the connector you want to export. This step opens the connector’s detailed configuration view.
  4. Navigate to the Access Management tab.
  5. Click the Export Properties button.
  6. A .json file will be downloaded. You can import this .json file directly via the portal into Privacera Manager if needed.

Editing the BigQuery Connector

  1. In the Portal for Self-Managed, go to Settings > Applications.
  2. On the Applications screen, select the BigQuery. You should be able to see the table with connectors.
  3. Click the BigQuery connector to open its configuration details.
  4. In the BigQuery Edit Connector popup, adjust the connector’s Name and Description as needed.
  5. Navigate to the Access Management tab to modify fields under the Basic and Advanced sections.
  6. If necessary, toggle the Access Management option to enable or disable it.
  7. Click Save to apply your changes.
  8. Confirm that the updated BigQuery connector appears correctly under Applications.

Importing Properties into the BigQuery Connector
