Load component auth

You can authorize this component using either of these two methods:

  • Cloud Provider Credentials: By default, explicit Cloud Provider Credentials are used to facilitate cross-account or cross-cloud data loads.
  • Agent Identity: If cloud provider credentials are not specified, the component attempts to use the Matillion Agent’s native service identity to access the source data.

While the agent's identity is sufficient for resources within its own environment, explicit cloud provider credentials are advised to ensure access to source data loads residing in different cloud providers or accounts. This approach provides the flexibility required for diverse data locations, and maintains consistency with the authentication models used in the Excel Query and Google Sheets components.
