Configure MYOB AccountRight Connectivity for Redash
Connectivity to MYOB AccountRight from Redash is made possible through CData Connect Cloud. To work with MYOB AccountRight data in Redash, we start by creating and configuring a MYOB AccountRight connection.
- Log into Connect Cloud, click Connections and click Add Connection
- Select "MYOB AccountRight" from the Add Connection panel
- MYOB AccountRight uses OAuth to authenticate. Click "Sign in" to authenticate with MYOB AccountRight.
- Navigate to the Permissions tab in the Add MYOB AccountRight Connection page and update the User-based permissions.
Add a Personal Access Token
If you are connecting from a service, application, platform, or framework that does not support OAuth authentication, you can create a Personal Access Token (PAT) to use for authentication. Best practices would dictate that you create a separate PAT for each service, to maintain granularity of access.
- Click on your username at the top right of the Connect Cloud app and click User Profile.
- On the User Profile page, scroll down to the Personal Access Tokens section and click Create PAT.
- Give your PAT a name and click Create.
- The personal access token is only visible at creation, so be sure to copy it and store it securely for future use.
