## Getting started with Dataplex

There are two steps to get started using Dataplex with Secoda

1. Create a GCP Service Account JSON key
2. Connect Dataplex to Secoda

#### Create a GCP Service Account JSON key

* Login to [GCP console](https://console.cloud.google.com/) and go to the [Service Accounts page](https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts).
* Click + **Create Service Account**
* Enter a name click **Create and Continue**
* In the **Grant this service account access to project** section add the following roles:
  * `Data Catalog Viewer`
  * `Dataplex Metadata Reader`
  * `Dataplex Viewer`
  * `Dataplex DataScan Data Viewer`
* Click **Done**
* Search for the Service Account that was just created, click the three dots action menu and select **Manage keys**
* Click **Add key > Create new key**
* Select **JSON** and click **Create**
* Save the JSON key to be used later

#### Connect Dataplex to Secoda

After retrieving the Service Account JSON key, the next step is to connect it to Secoda:

1. In the Secoda App, select Add Integration on the Integrations tab
2. Search for and select Dataplex
3. Enter your Dataplex Service Account JSON key retreived above
4. Once successfully connected, a prompt will ask you to run the initial extraction

**Verify the Connection**

After the sync has completed successfully, resources that are decorated with additional metadata (e.g. tag templates) and fields will have the Dataplex icon. The fields will show up as custom properties in the resource sidebar.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.secoda.co/integrations/data-quality-tools/dataplex.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
