    Greetings!

    If you are trying to create entities in Azure Purview using the Python API but find that they are all being created inside the default collection, you can use the Azure SDK for Python for Purview Catalog operations. The Azure SDK for Python allows you to create and update assets within any specific collection in Purview.

     

    To achieve this, you can follow the detailed guidance provided in the "Tutorial: How to use Microsoft Purview Python SDK" documentation. Additionally, you can refer to the "azure.purview.catalog.operations" package within the SDK, which enables you to perform various Purview Catalog operations, including the creation and updating of assets in any specific collection.

    Regards
