Name and password

User name and password

Some visualization tools (e.g., BI tools) can pass user name and, sometimes, password to Cube.

Configuration

By default, CUBEJS_SQL_USER and CUBEJS_SQL_PASSWORD environment variables are used to verify the credentials. You can also customize the authentication by using the check_sql_auth configuration option.

Also, the CUBEJS_SQL_SUPER_USER environment variable or the can_switch_sql_user configuration option can be used to ensure that the user name can be changed after the initial authentication.
