{%inlineCallout icon="description" bold="OpenMetadata 1.6 or later" href="/deployment"%}
To deploy OpenMetadata, check the Deployment guides.

Connector was tested on Teradata DBS version 17.20. Since there are no significant changes in metadata objects, so it should work with 15.x, 16.x versions.


## Metadata Ingestion

By default, all valid users in Teradata DB has full access to metadata objects, so there are no any specific requirements to user privileges.
