      Hi,

       

      Thanks for the reply.

      Can you please confirm  If I select Private from the Privacy Level , What would be the result at the end user? 

      and where exactly I can check it this Privacy Level is working?

       

      Thanks,

      Lakshmi

        As i understand it data from data sources using the private privacy level cannot be shared with other data sources. This includes other private data sources and only authorized users can access the data. The privacy levels define how the data source is isolated from other data sources.

         

        One way to check if it's working i would guess to be for an unauthorized user to try and access the data source.
