Hi
How do you grant access to other users to use a data connection you have created?
The Sense help says "To give access to the data connection to other users than the owner, edit the connection or go the Security rules page."
I can't really see where to do it neither in "Data connection edit" or "Security rules" page 
...
Can someone give me a hint, please?
Hmm
When logged in as a user (let's say MisterX) with ContentAdmin role, I do not have Data connections created by another user available, even though MisterX is listed under that connections associations with Read, Update permissions.
The first thing we would like is to be able to create one oledb data connections which all developers could use.
As it is now each developer must creates his own connection...

OK cool - I need to check the ContentAdmin role suggestion again. (unless security rules were modified in some way) - a ContentAdmin role should have access to all connections regardless who creates them, but I will verify this again.
In regards to what you want to do - that can be achieved using the security rules (system rules) section in the data connection section of the QMC. Once the connection is created you can add a rule for which users and attributes you want to have access to it.
I am creating a video on this topic now - and will send to you shortly.

Thanks Michael!
Your answer led me into some experimenting.
I would like to avoid adding specific users to the data connection associations, so instead I did:
- Create a new Security Rule (calling it "Developer")
- Add the "Developer" role to all applicable users
- Add the Security Rule "Developer" to all applicable data connections
