Hello,   I have created an app. I want to share it with external user.   In permission I deselected:   -"Allow all users to connect to the app's underlying datasets using the Build permission."...

    Ok. Be sure that the users doesn't have permissions on the workspace or only have Viewer role. If the have member, contributor or admin it won't matter that you remove the options before sharing the app.

    If they are not part of the workspace and you have shared the app with them removing all permissions and they still see that, you might want to rise a ticket because that would be weird.

    You can also take a look at the permissions if you go to the workspace. Check the three dots of the dataset and click on "Manage Permission". That should show users with build permission for that.

    In order to keep you calm, external users can't have build permission, so they would never have the ability to deep dive in the data. That's a limitation of the tool.

    I hope that helps,
