Multiple Authentication Service Principals

14.09.2024

Adding your own "Authentication Service Principal" in DataCentral simplifies user and security management, reduces IT overhead, ensures compliance, and enhances the user experience by allowing access with familiar Microsoft credentials.

In DataCentral host settings, you can configure three Authentication Service Principals with different permissions, which Azure AD users must accept on their first login. This enables tenants to authenticate users with varying permission levels.

  1. Authentication only

  2. Authentication + Power BI resource access

  3. Authentication + Power BI and security group resource access
