Overview
Integrations connect Curator to your business intelligence platforms, allowing you to embed dashboards, synchronize users, and centralize analytics access.What are Integrations?
Integrations (also called “Connections”) allow Curator to communicate with external BI platforms. Once configured, these connections enable you to:- Embed visualizations: Add dashboards and reports from your BI platforms directly to Curator by selecting dropdown options
- Synchronize users: Keep user access and permissions in sync between Curator and your BI platforms
- Monitor health: Automatically detect connection issues and receive email alerts when problems occur
- Automate tasks: Schedule data refreshes, run scripts, and execute platform-specific commands
How Connections Work
Each connection stores the server details and authentication credentials needed to communicate with the external platform. Curator securely encrypts sensitive information and continuously monitors connection health to ensure reliable access to your analytics. Follow the platform-specific setup guides to create and configure the connection to your BI tool.Backend User Permissions
When a backend user saves a new connection, Curator automatically grants that user the backend permissions needed to access the integration. Other backend users do not receive these permissions automatically — they must be granted access manually by a super-administrator. If an integration does not appear in the backend navigation for a particular user after a connection has been created, the most likely cause is that the user has not been granted the required permissions. To resolve this:- Log in to the Curator backend as a super-administrator.
- Navigate to Settings > Administrators.
- Click on the backend user who cannot see the integration.
- Open the Permissions tab and locate the section for the relevant platform (e.g., Sigma, PowerBI, Tableau, or ThoughtSpot).
- Enable the required permissions for that user and save.
