Connection and Action Permissions

Scroll Prev Top Next More

The administrator setting up the connections can assign permissions to limit who can access them. This means you can set up sensitive connections that particular app designers cannot use, such as database lookups.

 

The available permission settings are as follows:

 

Use - You can grant app designers permission to use the connection within their app from a Connect command or a Connect and Search command. To use a connection and an action within an app, the Use permission must be granted to the app owner for both the connection and action.

Edit - Allows the named users to browse and edit the connection details and actions.

Full Control - Allows the named users to make full changes, except for deleting the connection. Only the connection owner can delete the connection.

The app's viewer is not required to have explicit permission for the connection. Anyone with permission to view the app can automatically use the connection capability embedded in the app. Two levels of permissions apply when using connections in apps:

The viewer must have View permission of the app (either explicit or through World permission)

The app owner must have the Use permission of the connection

When permissions for a connection are applied or changed, you will be provided with the option to also apply those permissions to any existing actions.
