“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Partner Community Users encounter AnalyticsApiRequestException because their limited permission set conflicts with how the Analytics API validates field access during exports. Salesforce’s report viewing permissions and Analytics API export permissions use different security models.
This creates a gap where data is viewable in reports but not exportable through the API. Here’s how to bridge that gap with better data access.
Optimize data access for Partner Community Users using Coefficient
Coefficient uses REST and Bulk APIs instead of Analytics API, avoiding the specific permission conflicts that cause this exception. It’s specifically designed to work with the limited permission sets typical of Partner Community Users.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up admin-controlled connections with service accounts.
System administrators configure Coefficient connections using service accounts with appropriate permissions. This maintains security while enabling controlled data sharing to Partner Community Users without modifying their Salesforce permissions.
Step 2. Create filtered imports with partner-appropriate data.
Set up specific imports containing only the fields and records Partner Community Users should access. Use Coefficient’s filtering capabilities to ensure data stays within appropriate boundaries.
Step 3. Configure automated refresh schedules.
Set up daily or weekly automatic updates so Partner Community Users always have current data without needing manual export permissions. Choose refresh frequencies based on business needs and data sensitivity.
Step 4. Enable enhanced collaboration through spreadsheets.
Partner Community Users get familiar spreadsheet functionality for data analysis that standard Salesforce exports don’t provide. Set up Slack or email alerts for automated data delivery to stakeholders.
Transform permission limitations into enhanced partner collaboration
This solution eliminates AnalyticsApiRequestException while providing Partner Community Users with better data access and functionality than native Salesforce exports. Try Coefficient to improve your partner data collaboration and reduce support burden.
