If you need an EU-based installation, please reach out to our team at support@honeydew.ai to discuss your requirements.

​
Honeydew Application

​
Org provisioning and admin user

Get your Honeydew org set up, and have an admin user provisioned. Contact Honeydew support to help with this step (support@honeydew.ai). Once provided, you will be able to access the Honeydew application. The admin user will be able to invite additional users to the org, and manage org settings.

​
Network Access

If your organization is using Zscaler or similar security solutions, Honeydew application access might be blocked by default within the organization’s network. In that case, please make sure that *.honeydew.cloud is added to the allowlist.

If specific domains are required (wildcards not allowed), please add the following domains to the allowlist:

  1. api.honeydew.cloud
  2. app.honeydew.cloud
  3. auth.honeydew.cloud
  4. jdbc.honeydew.cloud

If you are using a private Honeydew deployment, the domains will be different. Please contact support@honeydew.ai for the exact domains to add to the allowlist.

​
Users Login

  1. Honeydew supports user login using username/password as well as using Google and Microsoft accounts. For other login methods as well as for SSO, please reach out to Honeydew support (support@honeydew.ai).
  2. MFA is enabled and enforced for all users by default, with the option to manage it through user settings. It requires a one-time password generated by Google Authenticator, Duo Security or similar tools.
  3. To add additional users, navigate to the Settings section in the Honeydew application (Admin permissions are required).

​

  • Admin: Required for setup, integration, credential management, deployment, and cache management functions.

  1. Honeydew allows the use of API Keys for API integration, supporting BI tools, Snowflake Native App, SQL interface and more.
  2. Honeydew offers direct programmatic API access in private preview. To request access, contact support@honeydew.ai.
  3. API Keys are created and managed at the organization level (similar to service accounts).
  4. To generate an API Key, navigate to the Settings section in the Honeydew application (Admin permissions are required).
  5. You should assign the appropriate role to the API Key (Admin, Editor or Viewer) based on the kind of API calls you plan to make.
