Sharing data connections on VM

[bbehjoo]

I was wondering if there is a way to share data connections between users on an alteryx designer instance that has been licensed on a shared VM? We have two licenses and two users and we hope to be able to just share connections that are created by one user. 

Currently we have not figured out a way to share connections and instead each user has to set up their own connections and in-db connections which causes a lot of headaches and issues. 

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

@bbehjoo , does your organization have Alteryx Server?  If so, DCM may be a way to solve for this.  see the article below.

If you do not have Alteryx Server, there is no way to share data connections between Designer Users. 

If this resolves your issue, please mark this reply as the solution so that others in the Community can benefit from our collaboration. 

Thank you.
