The Governor lifecycle

Security Approval​

You will need some high-privileged service principals and API permissions to install and operate Governor in your enviroment.

  • A service principal to deploy Governor with terraform
  • For observer, you need "Read.All" permission in the target environment
  • For executor, you need "ReadWrite.All" permissions in the target environment

It's recommended to consult with your Security Team and get their approval before trying to install Governor in your environment.
