MicroStrategy ONE

Connect to an On-Premises Environment

Starting in MicroStrategy ONE (September 2024), you can connect to an environment using multiple credentials. For example, you can access a user account without disconnecting from an administrator account so you can troubleshoot problems, verify privileges, manage access control lists, etc.

You can connect Workstation to an on-premises environment.
