We hope that you are as excited about this new feature as we are! The new Database Connection Share is a feature that will allow ease of access for your Alteryx users to your databases. The feature also allows the Alteryx Gallery and Database Administrators more governance over what connections are being made as well as who are making the connections.The Admin of the Gallery can create and manage their users' data connections.

In developing workflows our users need to push workflows to server or scheduler that contain database connections.  This is a common source of errors if not configured properly.
