Actions authentication with the Infinity data source

Visualization actions now support authenticated HTTP requests by integrating with the Infinity data source. This lets you perform actions that require authentication by leveraging preconfigured Infinity data source connections.

Previously, actions could only make direct HTTP requests from the browser, which are subject to CORS restrictions, significantly limiting their usefulness.

With this update, you can choose between:

  • Direct from browser - Unauthenticated requests
  • Infinity data source - Routing requests through a preconfigured Infinity data source
Visualization actions authentication via Infinity datasource

To try out this feature, enable the vizActionsAuth feature toggle. Note that users with the Viewer role can’t see or execute actions.
