Set up Cyera

Create a Cyera API token and obtain a Client ID and Client Secret for Atlan to access Cyera metadata. Atlan authenticates with Cyera using JWT-based authentication through the Cyera API endpoint (api.cyera.io).

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • A Cyera account with Administrator access, or a role that permits creating API tokens and reading data classifications, datastores, and issues
  • Access to your Atlan tenant as an Admin

Create API token​

Create an API token in Cyera to generate the credentials Atlan uses to authenticate.

  • Log in to your Cyera instance at app.cyera.io
  • Navigate to Settings → API Tokens (direct link)
  • Click Create Token (or Generate API Token)
  • Give the token a meaningful name, for example Atlan App
  • Make sure the token has the following read permissions:
    • cyera.read.datastore (required for datastore discovery)
    • cyera.read.classification (required for classification metadata)
    • cyera.read.issues (required for security issue findings)
  • Click Create

Obtain client ID and client secret​

After creating the API token, copy the generated credentials for use in the Atlan workflow configuration.

  • Locate the newly created API token in the list
  • Copy the Client ID and store it securely
  • Copy the Client Secret and store it securely; this value is only shown once at creation time

Next, enter both values in the Atlan workflow Credential step when crawling Cyera.
