Shared connections

The Shared Connection feature allows you to create and manage a connection at an account level that you can reuse across spaces within your account. Users in your account can see all account level connections in all of their spaces. Then, you can use them to import objects or live access metadata into their space without having to share the connection's credential information with a large subset of users.

Note: You must be an Account Administrator to create, edit or delete Shared Connections.

You can click Create Shared Connections to open up the connection configuration interface.

The set up for a Shared Connection is the same as creating your own Data Connection. After you configure and save your saved connection, your shared connections are shared with all users within the account. You have the option to edit or delete the connection.

Note: Once your shared connection is created, the users in your account will have the option to reuse the shared connection when they create new connections in Modeler as follows:

You can then select a shared connection created by your admin from the Modeler Connect page.
