Authenticate SSO credentials to view sample data

Who can do this?

Any Atlan user with data access to the asset and SSO credentials for the connection. Atlan will display a 100-row sample of the data.

Once your connection admins have configured SSO authentication, you can view sample data using your SSO credentials. Atlan currently supports the following connectors for SSO authentication:

• Amazon Redshift - currently only Okta is supported as the identity provider.
• Google BigQuery - Atlan uses Google OAuth 2.0, which handles integration with all identity providers. However, Atlan has only validated the integration with Okta.
• Snowflake - Atlan uses Snowflake External OAuth for SSO authentication, thus supporting all Snowflake-supported identity providers.

To view sample data using shared credentials instead, refer to Provide credentials to view sample data.

Set up your SSO credentials
