Workflow in Purview
In Azure Purview, a workflow refers to a set of predefined, automated tasks that streamline and manage certain processes, such as approving data access requests or managing metadata curation.
Workflows in Azure Purview help automate data governance operations and improve collaboration across teams. They can include tasks like approving the registration of new data sources, assigning data stewards, or managing access to certain datasets.
Key Features of Workflows in Azure Purview:
- Data Curation and Approval Processes
Workflows can be used to automate the process of curating and approving metadata changes or lineage extraction requests. - Automated Notifications
Users can receive notifications when tasks like data registration or classification have been completed or need approval. - Customizable Steps
Workflows are customizable, allowing we to define multiple stages of approval or validation depending on the organization’s governance policies. - Access Management
We can define workflows to manage how access requests are handled for sensitive data. - Approval Requests
For example, if someone registers a new data source, the workflow might require approval from a Purview Collection Administrator before proceeding.
