Adding user metadata in DataHub
This guide shares how you can add user metadata in DataHub. Usually you would want to use one of our sources for ingesting user metadata. But if there is no connector for your use case then you would want to use this guide.
note
This does not allow you to add new users for Authentication. If you want to add a new user in DataHub for Login please refer to Adding Users to DataHub
You can look at all aspects supported for users in CorpUserAspect
Using File-Based Ingestion Recipe
Define a JSON File containing your user
[
{
"auditHeader": null,
"proposedSnapshot": {
"com.linkedin.pegasus2avro.metadata.snapshot.CorpUserSnapshot": {
"urn": "urn:li:corpuser:aseem.bansal",
"aspects": [
{
"com.linkedin.pegasus2avro.identity.CorpUserInfo": {
"active": true,
"displayName": {
"string": "Aseem Bansal"
},
"email": "aseem+examples@acryl.io",
"title": {
"string": "Software Engineer"
},
"managerUrn": null,
"departmentId": null,
"departmentName": null,
"firstName": null,
"lastName": null,
"fullName": {
"string": "Aseem Bansal"
},
"countryCode": null
}
}
]
}
}
}
]
Define an ingestion recipe

# see https://datahubproject.io/docs/generated/ingestion/sources/file for complete documentation
source:
type: "file"
config:
path: "./my-user.json"
# see https://datahubproject.io/docs/metadata-ingestion/sink_docs/datahub for complete documentation
sink:
...
Use DataHub CLI to do the ingestion.
Using Rest.li API
curl 'http://localhost:8080/entities?action=ingest' -X POST --data '{
"entity": {
"value": {
"com.linkedin.metadata.snapshot.CorpUserSnapshot": {
"urn": "urn:li:corpuser:aseem.bansal",
"aspects": [{
"com.linkedin.identity.CorpUserInfo": {
"active": true,
"displayName": "Aseem Bansal",
"email": "aseem+example@acryl.io",
"title": "Software Engineer",
"fullName": "Aseem Bansal"
}
}]
}
}
}
}'
