Data Access Authorization

Data Access Authorization

The new feature Remote Access (Data Access Authorization) is included in the crawler specific connector settings to ensure that the right user is accessing the query sheet and queries in the data catalog. Here the system validates the user credentials and allows that particular user to access the query sheet and queries in the data catalog.

• OvalEdge follows OvalEdge data permissions: When this option is selected, the OvalEdge application uses a service account used for creating the connection in the Query Sheet page, Data Catalog > Table > Data page and Data Catalog > Query page to fetch the required data.

• OvalEdge follows Remote system permissions: When this option is selected, then the users are prompted to enter the remote data source credentials in the Query Sheet page, Data Catalog > Table > Data page and Data Catalog > Query page and the submitted credentials are used to establish the connection to fetch the required data. Here, these credentials will be cached and cleared after 7 days of inactivity.

Example: When Remote system permissions option is selected user navigates to the Query Sheet or Data Catalog Queries and selects the Connection (Database), then the Enter User Credentials pop-up window with the Username and Password is displayed, where the user needs to provide the remote data source credentials for accessing the Database.
