Pulling Sisense user data into an elasticube

Is there an easy way to pull some of the user data that's stored in Sisense into an elasticube? Specifically what I'm trying to do is pull a table of user IDs and names for all of our users with Sisense accounts and use this data in a dashboard. I can already programmatically do this through the REST API, but I figured there has to be a way to connect to this data directly through a cube. Any idea how I would go about this?

  • Matt,

    The other way to accomplish this is to use the MongoDB connector and connect to the User JSON data from an ElastiCube.  Obviously, you need to be careful how often you pull etc. as you don't want to do anything that upsets Sisense functionality.

    Not endorsed by Sisense either.

    Regards, Jim

      Thanks Jim! I'll check out the MongoDB connector.
