Embedded analytics & apps

The most common use cases for embedded analytics are: embedding dashboards and reports into customer or partner-facing applications, internal business applications, and public-facing web pages. These use cases help organizations across industries, including SaaS, healthcare, logistics, finance, and more, to monetize data, improve customer experience, accelerate time to market for data products, and drive operational efficiency.

By employing an iFrame and constructing a server-side API, integration is accomplished effortlessly using JSON web token (JWT) security. Sigma provides a REST API and offers API recipes that demonstrate common tasks like onboarding new users, listing workbooks to create custom menus, and more. On average, embedding Sigma can be completed within a day.

Sigma’s embedded analytics platform offers extensive white labeling capabilities, allowing you to fully customize the look and feel to match your company’s or your customers’ brands. This includes control over themes, colors, fonts, and layouts. You can also dynamically apply different themes for different customers or user groups, ensuring a seamless branded experience in multitenant environments.
On top of that, Sigma gives you its own controls for governing who can view, build, edit, and share content. This ensures access and authorship don’t get tangled.

User authentication is handled by leveraging the host application's existing authentication system, with secure, flexible options like JWT-signed URLs and support for SSO, OAuth, and SAML. This approach ensures that only authorized users can access the embedded analytics content, and their permissions are tightly controlled based on their roles and the context of their session.

With Sigma Tenants, organizations can securely isolate user data and prevent cross-tenant access in multitenant environments. This is achieved through secure embedding options, including row-level security (RLS), role-based access controls, and dynamic user attribute filtering.
