This guide contains all permissions and requirements for connecting your Salesforce data to Supermetrics.
You can connect to data sources from the Data sources page on the Supermetrics Hub. On the Hub, you can also share an authentication link to connect to a data source you don't have direct access to.
After you connect to the data source on the Hub, you can use the data source connection in all available destinations.
Note
It's important to contact your Salesforce system administrator for help before you begin this process. Salesforce instances often have custom security settings that need careful attention.
