Alteryx Scheduler and authentication methods.

[Emil_Kos]

Hi Dear Community Members, 

I am testing a SharePoint connector on the Alteryx scheduler, and I am unsure if a specific authentication method can work on the scheduler. 

My question is if the scheduler can use the sign-in browser option for the authentication method. 

Propably the answer is no, but I couldn't find a clear answer on the community. By the way, to be crystal clear, I am not referring to a server but an Alteryx scheduler. 

I appreciate your help!

As the Scheduler is running in an automated fashion, there is no way for it to then have the interactivity in allowing the user to sign-in via the browser.

If you are wanting to automate the workflow you would need to use one of the other 3 options:
