Workspace User Admin Best Practice

Good afternoon, 

I would like to a reference to a best practice or some tips on what are the users to be used for the DATASET/DATAFLOW workspaces in a MFA scenario. 

Is it necesary to work with a "Service user" not affected by the MFA? 

Are there any references about it?

Thanks

Hi @thebigwhite 

 

As far as I am aware when using MFA it currently is not supported for dataflows due to the fact that it will need the additional authentication when refreshing. And this is currently not possible.


I would suggest using a Service account that does not have MFA enabled.





Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
