Updates to Assets Prevent Future Scan Updates
We've been working with Purview slowly over the last few days. Today I was able to scan some heavily used on-prem SQL server databases. Once the scan was complete I went into the assets, located the first asset I wanted to classify, and started to add a description. The minute I clicked Edit on the asset a warning appeared stating "Making a manual update to the asset will prevent future scans on this asset from updating it." As a software developer, I understand why this might be necessary, however as a member of the data governance team it concerns me. I need the ability to add classifications/glossary terms/contacts/descriptions to newly discovered assets, but I'd also like scanning to update the schema as the asset changes based on information found in scans. Is the functionality to edit an asset manually and receive updates from scans something that is on the roadmap? Will it be available in GA?
Access to Data Catalog's free features
Hi, I am exploring what is available in the free version of Microsoft Purview's Data Catalog Solution. I want access the below given free features that come with this account type, as mentioned here: Azure assets in your data estate are available in the Microsoft Purview Data Catalog without any set up needed. The data catalog automatically records data schema so users can explore data sources before accessing them. Data owners can add information like description, classifications, and contacts to their assets to provide users a more complete picture of their data estate. With current privileges, I am not able to view data schema of any of the assets or the data sources. Edit any asset to add information even though I am the data owner of some azure databases and Fabric Items. I am not able to see metadata of the Fabric items that I see under browse section in Data Catalog. Below given image shows what all I can see in live view of a Fabric asset Questions: Do I need to be added to a data curator to have access to these features? What are the steps to get assigned as tenant admin, global admin or Microsoft Purview admin so I can create domains/collections>assign myself to a data curator role? Do I need to register and scan data sources in order access metadata in data catalog free solution? Please let me know if I am missing any steps in order to access the features of the Data catalog that comes in free version and if I need to have additional permissions in order to gain access to the same.
