What the customer provides

Bring your current business identifiers, responsible users, policy decisions, representative documents and authorized connection details. Keep credentials in the designated secure configuration rather than in a spreadsheet, prompt or source repository.

Changing it afterwards

Use Proto to propose a change on a reviewed configuration branch. Check its effect on existing records, role boundaries, automation and reports before release. Preserve the previous source revision and the migration decisions needed to explain historical work.
