Google Custom Connector Credentials Profile and Service Account


CoC Spotfire

Recommended Posts

Hello,
When configuring the "Custom Connector For Spotfire To Read Data From Google Sheets", in the "Creating a Credentials Profile" section it is indicated to enter a service account in the Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Host.config. Can you tell me if we can use an account of another type than service account please?
Thanks in advance
Best regards,

Hello,
Creating  Credentials Profiles is used with Automation Services and Scheduled Updates jobs. Since these are background processes, using a non-interactive active account is necessary. indeed, using another account type would require the user to log in and consent. Therefore, a service account is the one that you should use.  Let me know for which purpose you need to set up a different account type. Is it for the permission to read a shared drive or other resources in Google?
