Connector Improvement: SAP Successfactors improvement
Answered
Hi, trying out your new priview SAP Successfactors connector and have a few improvement suggestions:
1). Ability to select and deselect tables. Due to the potential sensitive nature of data in such an HRM system, it would be highly beneficial to be able to select and deselect entities. This connector is basically a no-go until this is in place.
2). Authentication. Our security team are not overly happy about using SAML assertion directly to authenticate. Is there some thoughts about enhancing this?
3). Entities possible to query. It seems like the connector as of now has a quite limited number of datasets / entities possible to pick up. For now, we have a richer set of data in our home-built AWS Lambda Fivetran connector.

Hi Roar,
1. We've recently introduced this feature so it should be available if you setup a new connector as of now.
2. According to the docs from SAP, Successfactors only supports SAML assertion though we are working on an improvement to refresh the assertion once the current one expires which could be useful for your security team if they wanted to have the token expire quickly.
3. If you can list out the entities you want supported we can keep this feature request open and add those endpoints to the backlog.
Thanks,
Frank
