Hide Data Connections in Script Editor but let users use the hidden connection

chrislemm — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 06:45:20 GMT

Hello,

I've received the following request and I'm not sure if it's possible and how to solve it:

Our customer has a folder dataconnection. There's a binary load in an app referring to this dataconnection and loading a datamodel. Working perfect. They only want the user to use/load from the Dataconnection but wants it to be hidden in the script editor.

For example:

The only rules I could find are not editable for me:

Is there any way to make this possible or can't you hide the dataconnection from the user, when you want him to use it?

Best greetings.

Dear,

You create your own security rule for those apps and then you may be able to do this.

No. Unfortunately no one provided a useful workaround / solution. I'm still stuck with this problem. Maybe I'll have to make a case as a feature request to have those two security rules set to editable.

Greetings.

I believe it is not possible because the Read action shows the dataconnection on the dev side. Our development team is working with security rules with custom properties. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feSaaJZ7Jco

Hello,

This is an old post but I've the same problem than you. I try to hide a REST connector (I don't want developpers cans use it to access to qrs) but keep it usable through a script that they can't edit. With the new versions, is it something we can do with security rules and Custom Properties ?

Did you fin a soluce?

Thanks
