Microsoft Fabric

Connect Microsoft Fabric to Wobby

Wobby can connect directly to your Microsoft Fabric data warehouse using a service principal from your Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) tenant.

Step 1: Create an App Registration in Microsoft Entra ID

1. Go to the Azure Portal → Microsoft Entra ID → App registrations.

2. Click New registration.

   • Name: Can be anything (e.g., wobby-fabric-access).

   • Supported account types: Single tenant.

   • Redirect URI: Leave blank.

Step 2: Note Your Tenant and Client IDs

After creating the app, copy:

• Directory (tenant) ID

• Application (client) ID

You’ll need these later for the Wobby connection form.

---

Step 3: Create a Client Secret

1. In your app registration, go to Certificates & secrets.

2. Under Client secrets, click New client secret.

3. Add a description (e.g., wobby-fabric-secret) and choose an expiry period.

4. Important: Copy the Value (not the Secret ID) immediately and store it securely.

   • You won’t be able to view the value again once you leave the page.

Step 4: Grant Database Access to the Service Principal

Run the following commands in your Fabric SQL database to grant read access:

CREATE USER [<service-principal-name>] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER;
ALTER ROLE db_datareader ADD MEMBER [<service-principal-name>];

• Replace <service-principal-name> with your app registration’s display name.

• Use db_datareader for read-only access (recommended).

• Only use db_owner if the agent needs full control — generally not needed for Wobby.

Step 5: Add the Connection in Wobby

1. Go to Wobby → Data Sources → New Microsoft Fabric Connection.

2. Fill in the form:

Field	Value
Display Name	How you want the source to appear in Wobby
SQL Host	Your Fabric SQL host (ends with .datawarehouse.fabric.microsoft.com)
Database	The Fabric database name
Schema	The schema to use (often dbo)
Tenant ID	From Step 2
Client ID	Application (client) ID from Step 2
Client Secret	From Step 3
