Different data sources require different processes. Some data sources, such as Twitter, have publicly available data and do not require a log in for access. Other data sources, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Analytics and Google Documents, require a log in. To do this the user initiates a process during data source configuration, like Open Authorisation (OAuth) or Facebook Connect, to grant permission for Moxy to access your account and extract the data required for the report, while protecting the users account credentials. This is trusted authorisation, where the user has complete control of the permissions granted. The user name and password for these data sources are never entered into Moxy.

These permissions can be revoked any time from your data source account.
