Power BI Data Connector

What you we do with a Data Connector

Data Connectors allow you to create new data sources, or customize and extend an existing source. Common use cases include:

• Creating a business analyst friendly view for a REST API
• Providing branding for a source supported by an existing connector (such as an OData service, or ODBC driver)
• Implementing an OAuth v2 authentication flow for a SaaS offering
• Exposing a limited/filtered view over your data source to improve usability
• Supporting different authentication modes when creating a Power BI Content Pack
• Enabling DirectQuery for a data source via an ODBC driver
