Adding a data asset from a connection to a catalog
You can create a connected data asset based on a specific relational table or view, a set of partitioned data files, or a file that is accessed through a connection to a data source. You can also add a folder asset that is accessed through a connection in the same way.
For more information, see Add a connected folder asset to a catalog.
Requirements
You must have the Editor or Admin role in the catalog to add a connected data asset.
