Issues with connection strings

[venkey2847]

Hi All,

Please help me with the following topics.

1. Users are seeing data connections created by other users as well. how to revoke the view permissions.

For example, In QMC i have around 10 connection strings, but User A has to see only 2 connection strings which is created by User A.how to grant this type of access.

      2.How to grant access to users to edit data connections which are created by themselves. 

For Example, User A has created connection string but user B and C also need to see and edit that connection string,How to grant this type access to the users.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

venkat.

Hi Venkey,

You can set Custom Properties to both a user and a data connection. And grant either Read or Edit privileges.

Example for solution:

Create a data connection custom property = 'Editable Data Conneciton'.

Create a user custom propery = 'Editable Data Conneciton'.

Create a security rule which grants Edit rights to all .DataConnection objects where

User.CustomProperty=DataConnection.CustomProperty

Yet, I believe you may want to first make sure best practices are followed in your entire QS environment to avoid creating legacy items which will only cause complexity and confusion in the future.

I hope that helps!

Kind regards,

S.T.
