- The credentials specified in the connection are shared to the users who are specified in the Share dialog for connections.
- Users of a shared connection with credentials cannot insert their own credentials. They must create a new connection.
- Sharing of credentials may not guarantee access to the same locations as available to the owner. Examples:
- If your deployment uses Single Sign On, your enterprise login may provide access controls to the same resource that are different from the connection owner.
- Network infrastructure may whitelist IP addresses for some users and block the same addresses for others.
- Depending on the datastore, folder or directory permissions may limit access.
- For more information, please contact your IT administrator.
- The owner of the connection can specify whether credentials are shared or not.
- A workspace administrator has owner-level access to all connections in the workspace. However, a workspace admin cannot access or use a connection's credentials if those credentials were not shared by the owner of the connection.
- Shared users of the connection can share the connection if they have Editor privileges.
When credentials are not shared:
- Each user must provide credentials to use the connection.
- A user's individual credentials may not provide read access to datasources, which may mean that imported datasets appear to be broken.
- Individual credentials may not provide write access to the same output locations, which may cause jobs to fail.
- When sharing of credentials is disabled, shared users who share with other users cannot include credentials as part of the share.
