What does Atlan crawl from BigID?

Once you have crawled BigID, you can use connector-specific filters for quick asset discovery. This document provides details on the metadata and assets that Atlan crawls from BigID.

Attributes

Atlan maps BigID Attributes, associated with Catalog Objects as a result of scans, to the Custom Metadata Property specified in the configuration. Multiple attributes are concatenated with comma as the delimiter.

Tags

Atlan sources both system-assigned and user-assigned tags on BigID Catalog Objects to source-linked Atlan Tags on the associated Atlan assets. The sourced tags can then be propagated and assigned like regular Atlan Tags.

warning

Assigning values for BigID-sourced Tags on Atlan and reverse-sync of those values back to BigID is currently not supported.

Policy violations

Atlan maps Policy violations detected for Catalog Objects during BigID scans as Announcements on Atlan. The Announcement messages indicate the details of the Policies found violated. Once these violations are marked resolved on BigID, the corresponding Atlan Announcements are updated or removed appropriately.
