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
