Analytics Cloud Integration User access for the analytics app
Key Takeaway
If the Analytics Integration User can't see a field that an Analytics for Consumer Goods app uses, set field-level security to Visible for the Analytics Cloud Integration User profile on that field. Do this for every field the app uses before you create the app.
Before you create the Analytics for Consumer Goods app, the Analytics Integration User needs two things. It must be able to see every field the app uses, and it must have the right permission sets. You give the field access on the Analytics Cloud Integration User profile, one field at a time. If that access is missing when the app's dataflow runs, the dataflow can fail.
How to give the integration user field access
The Analytics Integration User gets field access through standard Salesforce field-level security on the Analytics Cloud Integration User profile. The Analytics for Consumer Goods app and the Analytics for Consumer Goods - Advanced Data Model app need the same kind of field access. On all fields, on all objects, that the app uses, select Visible for the Analytics Cloud Integration User profile. You set the access one field at a time:
- In Setup, open "Object Manager" and find the object.
- Select "Fields & Relationships", then select the field.
- Select "Set Field-Level Security".
- Select "Visible" for the Analytics Cloud Integration User profile, then save.
Repeat these steps for every field on every object the app uses.
Lena is preparing the Analytics for Consumer Goods app. The app uses fields on the Order object, including Account Name. In Setup, she opens Object Manager, finds Order, and selects Fields & Relationships. She selects Account Name, then Set Field-Level Security. She selects Visible for the Analytics Cloud Integration User profile and saves. She repeats the steps for each other field on Order that the app uses, and then for the fields on the other objects the app uses. When she finishes, she refreshes her browser cache, logs back in when asked, and creates the app.
For the Analytics for Consumer Goods app, refresh your browser cache when you finish, and then create the app. Clearing the cache can mean you have to log back in.
