Supplanting access credentials for shared data visualizations

An apparatus for supplanting access credentials for shared data visualizations, the apparatus comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of:

• receiving, from a first identity provider (IDP) account, a request to generate a data visualization utilizing restricted data from a cloud-based data warehouse, wherein the data visualization is generated by accessing the restricted data using the first IDP account;
• in response to receiving a request to share the data visualization with a receiving entity without access to the restricted data, associating, by a data visualizer, the data visualization with a service account with access to the restricted data, wherein the service account is not authenticated as a user of the first IDP account;
• providing, by the data visualizer to the receiving entity, access to the data visualization including generating the data visualization by accessing, using the service account, the restricted data from the cloud-based data warehouse;
• and
• wherein the receiving entity is a second IDP account without access to the restricted data, wherein the service account is not authenticated as a user of the second IDP account, and wherein providing, to the receiving entity, access to the data visualization comprises providing, to the second IDP account, access to the data visualization.

A computer program product for supplanting access credentials for shared data visualizations, the computer program product disposed upon a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out the steps of:

• receiving, from a first identity provider (IDP) account, a request to generate a data visualization utilizing restricted data from a cloud-based data warehouse, wherein the data visualization is generated by accessing the restricted data using the first IDP account;
• in response to receiving a request to share the data visualization with a receiving entity without access to the restricted data, associating, by a data visualizer, the data visualization with a service account with access to the restricted data, wherein the service account is not authenticated as a user of the first IDP account;
• providing, by the data visualizer to the receiving entity, access to the data visualization including generating the data visualization by accessing, using the service account, the restricted data from the cloud-based data warehouse;
• and
• wherein the receiving entity is a second IDP account without access to the restricted data, wherein the service account is not authenticated as a user of the second IDP account, and wherein providing, to the receiving entity, access to the data visualization comprises providing, to the second IDP account, access to the data visualization.
