Implementing Access Control and User-Specific Logic in Alteryx Designer Models

[Hagar-Usama]

Hello,

I have created a model in Alteryx Designer that contains multiple containers. Due to confidentiality concerns, I want to implement access control measures that allow each user type to view or use specific containers.

Additionally, I would like to know if it is possible to hide certain containers' logic based on the user type.

Thanks!

Hey @Hagar-Usama,

You could use Macros instead of containers (https://help.alteryx.com/20231/designer/lock-your-workflow). With Macros you do have the possiblity to lock them, so users can't view them. 

But this doesn't work user-specific. This would be an all or nobody approach. 

I don't think other workflow/container locking is possible, but maybe smb. has a better idea.

Hey FrederikE,

Thank you for your response. Macros seems a viable approach to me. Can I make it run only to make sure no one knows the implementation behind it?
