How to Authenticate Multiple Accounts Through OAuth Connectors

OAuth connectors allow you to authenticate multiple accounts using the same application. This is particularly beneficial when you need to access different sets of data from various accounts. For instance, Google Analytics allows you to configure multiple Google accounts with the same client secret.

Steps to Authenticate Multiple Accounts

1. Select Data Source: Begin by selecting the data source. For example, Google.

2. Connect New Account: Click on the “Connect New Account” option in the accounts selection window. This will enable you to connect to a new account.
   

   

3. Sign in to Account: A login window will appear. Here, you can sign in with another account.
   

   

4. Authenticate and Fetch Data: After successful authentication, you will return to the OAuth account selection window. Click ‘Next’ and ‘Connect’ to proceed to fetch data from the newly authenticated account.
   

   

5. Switch Between Accounts: You can switch between the accounts while connecting to the data source. This can be done by choosing an account from the ‘Select Account’ drop-down menu in the account selection window.

It’s important to note that you don’t need to configure different client id and secret for each account. The same client id and secret can be used to authenticate multiple accounts.

This behavior is common for all OAuth connectors, making it a versatile tool for managing multiple accounts and accessing diverse data sets.
