Table of Contents

Overview

A command line interface that allows you to define your Data Map in code and sync that configuration back to https://app.transcend.io.

Installation

Step 1) Install NPM, Node, and Yarn

This package is distributed through npm and github package registries and assumes an installation of npm and node. You will also want to install yarn.

Step 2) Install @transcend-io/vz-cli and @transcend-io/cli

If your codebase is typescript or javascript based, you can add this package as a dev dependency:

# install the vz cli
yarn add -D @transcend-io/vz-cli

# install the transcend cli as well
yarn add -D @transcend-io/cli

Step 3) Create a .env file to store secrets and common environment configuration

Create a ./.env file with variables like this:

TRANSCEND_API_KEY=FILL_ME
TRANSCEND_API_URL=https://api.us.transcend.io

The TRANSCEND_API_KEY is a secret, and this should not be committed to git or pasted into your terminal history. You should add your ./.env to the .gitignore if you are running these commands from a git repository. If you do commit an API key or paste it in the terminal, the API key can be cycled in the Transcend Dashboard.

Step 4) Run commands

# load in .env file
source .env

# vz cli commands available within @transcend-io/vz-cli
yarn vz-combine-legal-csv-data-flows \
   --legalCsv=/Users/test/Desktop/legal.csv \

yarn tr-derive-data-silos-from-data-flows-cross-instance --auth=$TRANSCEND_API_KEY
   --dataFlowsYmlFolder=./working/data-flows/ --output=./transcend.yml

The cli-commands default to using the EU Transcend backend. To use these commands with the US backend, you will need to use the flag You can also set the environment variable TRANSCEND_API_URL=https://api.us.transcend.io

Transcend CLI

The Transcend CLI comes with documentation on each of the standard cli commands. This repository holds cli commands that are custom to this implementation, such as custom CSV file formats.

Custom Commands

vz-combine-legal-csv-data-flows

This command allows for combining information in a CSV from a legal team into a CSV of data flow data

Authentication

No authentication is required to run this cli command, it comes CSV files that are expected to be on disk.

Arguments

Argument Description Type Default Required
legalCsv Custom Legal CSV file. File format defined by LegalTrackerCsvCodec string - file-path ./legalMaster.csv false
dataFlowYml Export of data flows from the Transcend dashboard. File format defined by TranscendInput string - file-path ./transcend.yml false
output Output file format that can be re-imported into Transcend dashboard. File format defined by TranscendInput string - file-path ./transcend.yml false

Note: You trackerStatus can be specified on a per data flow basis by adding a column named "Status" to the CSV. The values should be of type ConsentTrackerStatus - which is LIVE or NEEDS_REVIEW.

Usage

Combine two files on disk

yarn vz-combine-legal-csv-data-flows \
   --legalCsv=/Users/test/Desktop/legal.csv \

Arguments

Argument Description Type Default Required
file Path to transcend.yml file string - file-path ./transcend.yml false

Usage

yarn vz-transcend-from-parent-for-children --file=./transcend.yml

Useful Commands

A) Combine Legal CSV with Transcend Data Flows

Combine legal's categorizations of vendors, combine those categorizations with what was in Transcend, and push those categorizations back into Transcend.

Step 1) Run CLI commands:

export TRANSCEND_API_URL=https://api.us.transcend.io
export LEGAL_FILE=/Users/test/Desktop/legal.csv
export TRANSCEND_DATA_FLOWS_FILE=/Users/test/Desktop/data-flows.yml
export COMBINED_TRANSCEND_DATA_FLOWS_FILE=/Users/test/Desktop/data-flows-combined.yml
export TRANSCEND_API_KEY=SECRET_FILL_ME
yarn tr-pull --auth=$TRANSCEND_API_KEY --file=$TRANSCEND_DATA_FLOWS_FILE --resources=dataFlows -trackerStatuses=NEEDS_REVIEW,LIVE
yarn vz-combine-legal-csv-data-flows --legalCsv=$LEGAL_FILE --dataFlowYml=$TRANSCEND_DATA_FLOWS_FILE --output=$COMBINED_TRANSCEND_DATA_FLOWS_FILE
yarn tr-push --auth=$TRANSCEND_API_KEY --file=$COMBINED_TRANSCEND_DATA_FLOWS_FILE

Required Environment Variables

Argument Description Type Is Secret
LEGAL_FILE Custom Legal CSV file. File format defined by LegalTrackerCsvCodec string - file-path false

TRANSCEND_API_URL Transcend backend URL string - url false
TRANSCEND_API_KEY Transcend API key with scopes Manage Cookies string - api-key true

B) Generate API keys to Synchronize Cross-Account Data

This command will generate a JSON file (at ./working/api-keys.json) containing a list of API Keys for each Transcend instance. The API keys have the minimal set of permissions required to synchronize data across all Transcend instances for your account. Each API key will have the same title. These API keys will be available under Infrastructure -> API Keys.

export TRANSCEND_API_URL=https://api.us.transcend.io
export TRANSCEND_EMAIL=test@transcend.io
export TRANSCEND_PASSWORD=SECRET_FILL_ME
export TRANSCEND_API_KEYS_PATH=./working/api-keys.json
export TRANSCEND_PARENT_ORGANIZATION_ID=53f5008e-163a-4208-bd0a-aa5ce2208185
yarn tr-generate-api-keys --email=$TRANSCEND_EMAIL --password=$TRANSCEND_PASSWORD --scopes=""Manage Consent Manager Developer Settings,Manage Data Map,Connect Data Silos,Manage Data Subject Request Settings,Manage Global Attributes,Manage Request Identity Verification,View API Keys,View Data Subject Request Settings,View Email Templates,View Identity Verification Settings,Manage Data Inventory,Manage Data Flows" --apiKeyTitle="[cli][$TRANSCEND_EMAIL] Cross Instance Sync" --file=$TRANSCEND_API_KEYS_PATH --parentOrganizationId=$TRANSCEND_PARENT_ORGANIZATION_ID

Required Environment Variables

Argument Description Type Is Secret

TRANSCEND_EMAIL Your email address that you use to log into Transcend string - email false
TRANSCEND_PASSWORD The password you use to log into Transcend string - password true

C) Delete API Keys Cross-Account

If you need to delete the API keys generated by the above command, this command can be run to delete API keys across all instances that have a specific title. If you decide to run any cli commands on a CI, you can use these commands to establish a process to cycle API keys.

export TRANSCEND_API_URL=https://api.us.transcend.io
export TRANSCEND_EMAIL=test@transcend.io
export TRANSCEND_API_KEYS_PATH=./working/api-keys.json

TRANSCEND_PASSWORD The password you use to log into Transcend string - password true

D) Sync Shared Configuration from 0 - Data Mapping Across All Accounts

There are some consistent settings that we will apply across all Transcend instances. The set of resource settings that can be pulled can be found here. The resources listed in the command below can be pulled and synced into other instances to enforce a consistent configuration across the privacy request in order to:

  • attributes - any custom table columns are defined across the data flows, cookies, privacy requests and data inventory tables
  • identifiers - the detected identifiers used to querying users for data deletion
  • consentManager - developer settings for the consent manager

A post-processing step is done to remove some data that should not be synced, before that data is pushed back up into other Transcend instances
