3597450 - New “Grant Access” or “Data Source Could Not Be Reached” Warnings in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) for Live Data Connections Issues

Starting from QRC2 update, users of SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) may encounter one of two new warning dialogs when using Live connections authenticated via SAML SSO or SAML SSO (Standard Compliant) based on the data source type.

• "Grant Access" popup (see image) requiring permission to browser storage.
• "The data source could not be reached, or your browser may be blocking third-party cookies."

These dialogs appear when the connection to the data source fails after successful authentication.
