	// ! Special authentication is needed, because the Metabase API is using a special auth
	// ! 1st solution would be to authenticate at every request, but this is bad for performance
	// ! 2nd solution is to use a implement a special auth function just for Metabase

	// async authenticate(credentials: ICredentialDataDecryptedObject, requestOptions: IHttpRequestOptions): Promise<IHttpRequestOptions> {
	// 		requestOptions.headers!['X-Metabase-Session'] = `${credentials.sessionToken}`;
	// 		return requestOptions;
