In this section, we provide guides and references to use the SSAS connector.

Configure and schedule SSAS metadata and profiler workflows from the Collate UI:

## Requirements
To extract metadata from SSAS, ensure the following requirements are met:

- **HTTP Access**: The SSAS service must be accessible via HTTP. You need to grant HTTP access to the SSAS instance.
- **Authentication**: HTTP access should be secured using Basic Authentication. Make sure you have a valid username and password with sufficient privileges to access the required models.
- **Model Deployment**: The SSAS models you want to ingest must be deployed and available in the SSAS instance.
- **Documentation**: For detailed steps on enabling HTTP access and configuring authentication for SSAS, please refer to the official SSAS documentation: [SSAS HTTP Access Guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/analysis-services/instances/configure-http-access-to-analysis-services-on-iis-8-0?view=sql-analysis-services-2025)

These steps are necessary to allow the connector to communicate with your SSAS instance and retrieve metadata successfully.

#### Connection Details

- **HTTP Connection**: The HTTP endpoint (URL) for accessing your SSAS instance. This should be the address where your SSAS service is exposed for HTTP requests.
- **Username**: The username for authenticating to the SSAS HTTP endpoint. This user must have sufficient privileges to access the required models and metadata.
- **Password**: The password for the above username. The password is stored securely and used for Basic Authentication.
