Restricting use of Alteryx gallery connection

rnayan
7 - Meteor

We are trying to meet one requirement in alteryx and see a big flaw. Help me if there is a way to achieve this:

 

We have created gallery connections and those gallery connections are intended for different set of users only.

ex:

 gallery connection GC1 - shared with UserA and UserB

 gallery connection GC2 - shared with UserC and UserD

 

All these users have their own individual private studio and they share workflow via collections.

Now if UserA have developed a workflow using connection GC1 and share that workflow with userC via collection, then that user is also able to run that workflow from gallery (even though that GC1 connection is not shared with him).

 

Also if UserC download the workflow in designer, this workflow won't run in designer but they can definitely change the target table name in connection string and put it in gallery and run from there. This way UserC is able to create a table using connection GC1 which was not the intend.

 

How do we solve this problem?

 

Thanks,

Rajeev

Hi @rnayan ,

 

You can change the workflow credentials in the Gallery Admin page. Change it from "use default credentials" to "Require User Credentials".
