Google Drive Connector setup

Hello, I have workflow I use that leverages Google drive connector for one of the inputs, and for all of the outputs.  I need to get a colleague setup to be able to run the workflow, and can't figure out how to get it to work for him.  When I drag a new Google connector tool on to my canvas, I see these options:

However, when he does it, he only sees the top part option to connect using Data Connection Manager.  I've read through the various documentation, and having trouble figuring out how to get this to work for him. Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

This is what my colleague sees:

Yes, this should work to change the configuration options!

Hi, as a user, you can change the DCM Mode and choose the SDK Access Mode in the Designer's User Settings. Go to Options > User Settings > Edit User Settings. Next, in the General tab, scroll to the Override DCM Settings section.

These options are available via DCM Mode to set credential handling and storage:

  • DCM Optional: Connections (including passwords) are stored in a workflow by default. You can choose to store and manage connections in DCM.

  • DCM as Default : Connections (including passwords) are stored and managed in DCM by default. You can choose to store them in a workflow.

  • DCM Only: You can't configure connections in a workflow. You can only select connections stored in DCM. Workflows with embedded passwords can run.

  • DCM Enforced: Workflows with embedded passwords are not functional.

For the SDK Access Mode, these are the available options:

  • Deny: SDK Tools are not supported, and the Allow Credential for SDK Tools checkbox is not displayed in the credential UI.

  • Allow: SDK tools are supported, and the Allow Credential for SDK Tools checkbox is displayed in the UI, offering the option to manually select each credential.

  • AllowAll: SDK tools are supported, and the Allow Credential for SDK tools checkbox is not displayed in the credential UI.

    I hope this information resolves your issue.
