Access to Power BI Connector for SAP is granted through SAP BTP role collections. A subaccount administrator decides which BTP users can sign in to the connector and what role they get inside it. Once granted access, a user signs in with their SAP identity — there is no separate account to create.
Roles #
The connector ships two BTP role collections through its MTA:
- MetricaPowerBIConnector User — sign in, create and edit personal data sources, share them with other users in the subaccount, create personal access tokens, and view your own activity history.
- MetricaPowerBIConnector Administrator — everything a User does, plus account-wide settings on the Administration page (for example, the token expiry policy) and visibility into other users’ activity.
Add or remove users (subaccount administrator) #
Only subaccount administrators can manage the connector’s user list. In the SAP BTP cockpit for the subaccount subscribed to the connector:
- Go to Security → Role Collections.
- Find MetricaPowerBIConnector User or MetricaPowerBIConnector Administrator.
- Open the role collection and add the user’s email address in the Users tab.
- The user can sign in to the connector immediately with their SAP identity.
For the general SAP mechanics of managing role collections, see SAP’s own documentation: Role Collections and Roles in Global Accounts, Directories, and Subaccounts.
The connector’s own Administrator role does not include the ability to add or remove users — Administrators inside the connector need to ask a BTP subaccount administrator for changes to the user list.
Where to check your role #
Open the Administration item in the connector’s left navigation. If you can see it, you have the Administrator role. If you can’t, you have the User role.
