--- title: Sisense API Integration on Truto slug: sisense category: Analytics canonical: "https://truto.one/integrations/detail/sisense/" --- # Sisense API Integration on Truto **Category:** Analytics **Status:** Generally available ## Unified APIs ### Unified User Directory API - **Groups** — Groups are a collection of users in the source application. In some applications, they might also be called Teams. - **Roles** — The Role object represents a role of a User. - **Users** — The User object represents a User. ## How it works 1. **Link your customer's Sisense account.** Use Truto's frontend SDK; we handle every OAuth and API key flow so you don't need to create the OAuth app. 2. **Authentication is automatic.** Truto refreshes tokens, stores credentials securely, and injects them into every API request. 3. **Call Truto's API to reach Sisense.** The Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Sisense API. 4. **Get a unified response format.** Every response uses a single shape, with cursor-based pagination and data in the `result` field. ## Use cases - **Sync user directories to enforce multi-tenant data security** — SaaS companies embedding Sisense dashboards need to ensure each customer's users only see their own data. By syncing Users, Groups, and Roles from their application into Sisense, they can enforce row-level security without manual provisioning. - **Automate employee onboarding and offboarding in embedded BI** — HR and Identity Management platforms need to propagate access changes to downstream analytics tools. Automatically provisioning or deprovisioning Sisense users when employees join or leave eliminates orphaned accounts and prevents unauthorized data access. - **Zero-touch tenant setup for new customers** — B2B SaaS companies using Sisense as their white-labeled reporting engine need to programmatically create User Groups, assign roles, and configure access every time a new customer signs up — removing manual setup from the onboarding flow. - **Centralized role management across analytics tools** — SaaS platforms managing access across multiple downstream systems need a single integration layer to push role assignments (Admin, Designer, Viewer) into Sisense, keeping permissions consistent with their core application. ## What you can build - **Automated Sisense user provisioning** — Automatically create Sisense user accounts with the correct role when new users are added in your application, so they have immediate access to embedded dashboards. - **Group-based access control sync** — Mirror your application's team or organization structure into Sisense Groups to dynamically control which dashboards and data each user segment can access. - **Real-time user deprovisioning on offboarding** — Instantly remove or deactivate Sisense users when they are offboarded from your platform, closing security gaps and ensuring compliance. - **Role assignment automation** — Map your application's permission tiers to Sisense roles (Admin, Designer, Viewer) and keep them synchronized as user permissions change. - **Tenant-scoped group creation on signup** — Programmatically create a dedicated Sisense User Group for each new customer tenant, laying the groundwork for row-level security and scoped dashboard access. ## FAQs ### What authentication methods does Sisense support for API access? Sisense's REST API supports token-based authentication. Users authenticate with their Sisense credentials to obtain a bearer token, which is then passed in API request headers. Sisense also supports SSO integrations for end-user authentication in embedded scenarios. ### Which Sisense resources can be managed through Truto's Unified User Directory API? Truto's Unified User Directory API maps to Sisense's Users, Groups, and Roles. This covers creating, reading, updating, and deleting users, managing group membership, and assigning roles like Admin, Designer, or Viewer. ### Are Sisense-specific tools available out of the box, or built on request? Sisense tools on Truto are currently built on request. If you need specific endpoints beyond the Unified User Directory API — such as ElastiCube management or dashboard provisioning — the Truto team can build custom tools tailored to your workflow. ### Does the integration support managing row-level security (RLS) rules? Row-level security configuration in Sisense is handled through its Data Security API, which is separate from user directory management. While the Unified User Directory API lets you set up the Users and Groups that RLS rules reference, managing the security rules themselves would require a custom tool built on request. ### How does Truto handle pagination and rate limits for the Sisense API? Truto abstracts away pagination and rate limit handling for Sisense API calls. Your application makes standard requests through Truto's unified interface, and Truto manages retries, throttling, and cursor-based pagination behind the scenes. ### Can my end users connect their own Sisense instances through Truto? Yes. Truto provides an authorization flow where your end users can securely connect their Sisense instance by providing their instance URL and credentials. Truto stores and manages these credentials so your application never has to handle them directly.
