SSO Accounts to execute Anaplan API

Vishwadeep1

In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds:

Anaplan API Requirements:

- Account should be Non-SSO account, that means account type should be native in Anaplan.

- All available authentication mechanism (OAuth/API Keys/Basic/etc.) requires Non-SSO account for Anaplan API execution.

- By saying so, It does not matter what authentication mechanism (OAuth/API Keys/Basic/etc.) you use, if the account type is SSO Anaplan API does not work.

How often is this impacting your users?

Non-Compliance of Non-SSO service accounts

Who is this impacting? (ex. model builders, solution architects, partners, admins, integration experts, business/end users, executive-level business users)

- Non-Compliance of service (generic) accounts.

- As per Organizational Security Policy, SaaS native accounts (Non-SSO) are treated as non-compliant accounts and as they might have higher privileges, hence could have higher risk.

- This creates additional operational overhead over admins and integration experts.

What would your ideal solution be? How would it add value to your current experience?

- As a part of compliance all account should be SSO authenticated including service accounts.

- SSO account should be able to execute all the API using any authentication mechanism i.e. OAuth, API keys, Basic etc.

- By saying so authentication mechanism (i.e. OAuth, API keys, Basic etc.) should be independent of account type.
