External Login (name/password) passed to Metabase

Get Help

Hi, question is: how can Metabase "reuse" another login credentials, so the user need not login again?

Scenario;

  • user login into a company specific workspace using name/password authentication
  • user click on some "Open Metabase" button
  • System opens a new browser window and reuses automatically the name/password credentials from previous "non-metabase" login dialog. (or injects a session previously API created, maybe)
  • User can access the Metabase questions as defined for his groups access permission defined in Metabase.

Thank and regards
David

That's what should happen since the name/password will create a session token that the browser will hold to it.

And even if you close and then re-open the window the user will still remain logged in.

What experience are you having exactly?

and also please define what's a "workspace" for you, since we don't have any idea of your architecture so we're not able to help you here without context
