Sharing a data connection

jomamma1 — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 13:57:12 GMT

My teammate created a data connection.

I would like to use his connection.

Is that possible? (I don't see his data connection as an option when I edit my script).

You can create duplicate in QMC and assign as you are the owner of that data connection

There are probably 2 ways to do it (AFAIK)
1. You can add yourself as Content Admin in QMC to see all the data connections created by other users
or
2. Create a security rule attached to that data connections
Resource filter as DataConnection_*
Actions as Read or update or create based on what you need...
((resource.type ="folder" or resource.type="ODBC" or resource.type="OLEDB" or user.name="YOURUSERNAME")) something like this -- I did not test this but my guess is it should work

But point #1 will work for sure if you are having Content Admin role in QMC
