IMetabaseUser.External

Syntax

External: Boolean;

Description

The External property determines whether the new user connected from the server is created.

Comments

This property can be changed only when a new user is created in the repository. The property is relevant if any user has already been created on the server, and this user must be included in the list of security subjects of Foresight Analytics Platform.

The actual presence of the user on the server is not checked when the user connected from the server is created.

This flag will be set to False for temporary users created during BI server work if authorization by means of external service accounts is used: Google, LiveJournal. Temporary users exist as separate records in the repository system table. Physical users of the DBMS are not created. For authorization under such users there must be the individual user of the repository who will be used for impersonation. The user requires default credentials saved on the BI server.

Example

The property use is given in the example for IMetabaseUser.ManageDBGrants.
