Expired Credentials Overview

When you set up a source in Onna you authorize Onna to access data from that source’s API. At times a credential will expire and will need to be renewed by reauthorizing the source.

Should source credentials need to be renewed, the user who created the source will be notified about the need to reauthorize the credentials via email. The subject of the email will be “Credentials expired in source”. Inside the email there will be a link to the account to renew the credentials.

The source creator is able to renew credentials for a source from one of three areas: ‘My Sources’, the workspace where the source is set up, or, if the credential was set up as an Authorized Connection, from your ‘Authorized Connections’. Below you will find steps to renew from each area.
