Metabase Integration

Metabase is an open-source business intelligence (BI) and analytics tool that allows users to visualize and analyze data stored in various databases. It provides a user-friendly interface for creating interactive dashboards, exploring data, and generating reports without requiring extensive technical knowledge.

How does this integration help Sprinto

The integration primarily helps Sprinto retrieve the user account details like user name, email address, role, etc. It helps Sprinto to map and check if the user with access offboards the organization. The org role information also helps Sprinto ensure only the configured valid roles access the system.

Sprinto checks for Metabase

Following are the available Sprinto checks for Metabase integration:

Sprinto check
Reference procedure

User should be identified

Metabase access should be removed for offboarded user
