Can 2 designer desktop users share azure data lake file output credentials?

Hi 

I have created a workflow, and I need to share it with a colleague.

It does not store the credentials, can I make it somehow?

You can affix it via Analytic App. But I do not recommend sharing credentials like that.

Sharing credential information within WF is not advisable way for security reason.

 

If you want to share & organize credential information safely, you can utilize DCM(Data Connection Manager)

Hi @gawa , thanks for the feedback. Been playing around with that for a while, but I cannot get that to work.

If we setup the same connection with the same dcm name, it does not load when the other part opens the workflow. We still have to manually connect. And we use azure adsl output inside a macro, so its super inconvenient.

Any fif's on how to make it work?

kind regards
