[SOLVED] How can I allow users of my connector to set a different username and password each time they create a new source?

How can I allow users of my connector to set a different username and password each time they create a new source?

I have build and published the Data Studio connector for TradeTracker. The connector works great, but when users try to add a different account by trying to add a new datasource they can't re-enter their API Clientid and passphrase.

How do I clear the 'old' credentials?

I have found there's an function to reset the auth.

function resetAuth() {
  var userProperties = PropertiesService.getUserProperties();
  userProperties.deleteProperty('dscc.username');
  userProperties.deleteProperty('dscc.password');
}

When should I call this function?

You can find the data studio connector

Search for tradetracker.

Solution

Multiple auth profiles are not currently supported by Data Studio. If you want to authenticate to a data source with different credentials, you need to remove the connector (which will call resetAuth), then add it again and use your new credentials.
