Connection Permissions
Connection Permissions determine which users can view and select the defined connections in the developer interface.
Connection Permission Definition and Usage
Database or service connections defined in the developer interface can only be viewed and used by authorized developers. Permissions can be assigned specifically per user for each connection.
Users with this permission can:
- See the relevant connection in the connections list.
- Select the connection to create or use queries.
Users without this permission:
- Cannot see the relevant connection in the connection list.
- Cannot see the connection in selectable fields where a connection is required.
Authorization and Usage Conditions
- Connection definitions are made by system administrators or authorized users in the developer interface.
- Each connection must be individually assigned with permission.
- Users can only interact with the connections they are authorized to use.
Related Notes
- Exception Case: If the connection has been previously selected by another user, developers without permission can view but cannot select or use the connection in a new operation.
