The dataConnections Collection contains data connections with these keys

  • _id: (ObjectId) Document primary key.

  • ConectionString: (String) Hashed database connection string.

  • PasswordSecured: (String) Encrypted password for the database connection.

  • ConnectionName: (String) Data connection display name.

  • Subscriptions: (Array) Array of subscription IDs the data connection has been shared with.

  • Users: (Array) Array of user IDs the data connection has been shared with.

  • UserGroups: (Array) Array of group IDs the data connection has been shared with.

Add these keys to provide a basic audit trail

  • CreationDate: (DateTime) Date time in UTC when the data connection was created.
  • CreatedByUser: (String) user ID of the user that created the data connection.
  • LastUpdateDate: (DateTime) Date time in UTC when the data connection was updated.
  • UpdatedByUser: (String) user ID of the user that updated the data connection.
