## Requirements

{% note %}
The ADLS Datalake connector supports extracting metadata from file types `JSON`, `CSV`, `TSV` & `Parquet`.
{% /note %}

### ADLS Permissions

To extract metadata from Azure ADLS (Storage Account - StorageV2), you will need an **App Registration** with the following
permissions on the Storage Account:
- Storage Blob Data Reader
- Storage Queue Data Reader

## Metadata Ingestion

#### Connection Details for Azure

- **Azure Credentials**

  - **Client ID** : Client ID of the data storage account
  - **Client Secret** : Client Secret of the account
  - **Tenant ID** : Tenant ID under which the data storage account falls
  - **Account Name** : Account Name of the data Storage

- **Required Roles**

  Please make sure the following roles associated with the data storage account.
   - `Storage Blob Data Reader`

The current approach for authentication is based on `app registration`, reach out to us on [slack](https://slack.open-metadata.org/) if you find the need for another auth system
