Summary

The Neo4j BI Connector provides direct access to Neo4j graph data from business intelligence tools, delivering connected data results without requiring coding or custom scripting. The connector offers a secure way to manage access to graph data by segregating it into multiple graphs and controlling access within each graph through fine-grained access control. This security configuration applies to the BI Connector itself, ensuring that users can only see the schema of the Neo4j graph but not the actual data unless granted permission. By centralizing access management using existing Neo4j techniques, external users can be given their own user accounts and passwords, while graph administrators can grant privileges to only necessary databases, resulting in a more secure and controlled environment for managing access to graph data.
