Issue
I am trying to set up a System alias, but the System option is missing.
Standard Connection - System connection is missing from Options > Advanced Options > Manage Data Connections > Add Connection
In-DB Connection - System connection is not an option:
Environment
Cause
The Designer is not running Elevated (aka running as an Administrator).Alteryx must be run with elevated privileges in order to be able to create a System Connection within Alteryx.
Solution
Is there any additional info you can provide?
I am set up to run as an administrator:
But I don't have a menu option to manage aliases:
Thanks!
Hi @JDelgado
Manage Data connections is where the Alias are stored for Alteryx Version 11 and above and from there you can access the system vs user connection
Thanks!
