Folders visibility in data connectors

ncternal — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 12:39:03 GMT

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to restrict what folders are visible within a data connector? For example, Finance to just see the Finance folder and HR to just see the HR folder. We use active directory groups to manage each team.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In QMC you can limit who can or can not see a specific connection

Data Connections > Chose Your Data Connection > Select Security Rules

But folders, I believe not ..Usually users do not create connection to have greater governance

Hi Thomas,

as suggested by pablo I would suggest too to create different Data Connections (one for Finance, another for HR, ...) and then with Security Rules you can set the visibility you desire

Hope this helps,

Riccardo
