Snowflake and Collibra User Roles
I’m currently exploring how user roles/permissions in Collibra and Snowflake can influence each other and would love to hear your experiences if you currently use both tools. Specifically, I’m curious about: How have you leveraged user roles in Collibra for the user roles in Snowflake, or vice versa? What best practices have you found effective in managing user accounts across both platforms? Are there any challenges you’ve faced in user account management that you think others should be aware of? Your insights would be incredibly valuable as we navigate these tools. Thanks in advance!

How to reflect Collibra Assets and relations in a Database/Data Warehouse, etc
Hello to all! In some former experiences I had with Collibra in other companies, all the assets in Collibra and their relations were reflected in a Data Warehouse or Data Lake outside Collibra itself. This was helpful because with simple SQL queries I was able to put together reports and double checks I needed. One simple example, I have a Power BI report that checks the assets that have or not Owners attached to them. Of course I can extract this information from a Collibra view, but with this kind of integration with a Database, I could connect my Power BI report directly to the database and with one button update it,without the necessity of downloading new files each time. Does anybody use this kind of solution? How to do it? API? Thanks!

Turn off Data Marketplace
Data Marketplace toggle is causing users frustration with searching for known assets. How do we turn off marketplace, or set the default to off for users?

SAP Business Objects metadata integration
There are two options on marketplace for Business Objects integration. One is a community offering with a starting template. Another is a partner Wiisdom. Has anyone used either of these. Business Objects is one of our main reporting tools and we need to include it in Collibra DIP to understand metadata and impacts.

Unable to use Data Quality functionality with Collibra Trial Version
Hi All: I am new to Collibra and trying out Trial version with the intent of using it for detecting anomalies in data using Data Quality functionality. The version itself is hosted on Google Cloud VM (Compute Instance). The data being tried out is in one of the Tables in Database running on GCP MySQL Service instance. As first step - I am able to create connection from Collibra portal to Database (mentioned above). The connection is visible too in explorer on Collibra portal. However, on entering Database name in the search window beneath Connection - a rather un-instructive message box hinting at undefined error appears. This same thing happends "trainingDB" provided out of box in the Trial version. Am I doing something wrong ? Missing any Steps ? Kindly advise. Thanks in advance. - Mahesh.

reporting on attributes across multiple asset types
Hi - I want to be able to create a report within Collibra that includes attributes from multiple asset types. I have tried using a global view and a catalog, but in both cases my report has only included attributes from 1 asset type and the names of relationship to a 2nd or 3rd asset type. Seems a simple ask, so any help much appreciated, (including confirmation that this can't be achieved). Thanks
