Permissions – Data connections
The permissions needed for activities related to 
Data connections depend on whether you work with your own or shared connections:
My connections – Require only user permissions granted by administrator in Access Manager.
Shared connections – Require both types of permissions:
Role permissions that are granted by administrator in Access Manager.
Shared content permissions that are granted by the user who shares a connection.

Examples
Review the following examples:
Example – Sharing a data connection with the “View” content permissionUser 1 shares a data connection with User 2 and grants only the View content permission.
User 2 has the following role permissions:
dataprep.access
dataprep.data-connection.create
dataprep.data-connection.set-permissions
dataprep.data-connection.certify
User 2 receives the connection on the Shared with me tab. User 2 can only do the following:
View
Change color
Set as favorite
Add private tags
Remove from list
User 2 can create a new data connection and manage it according to the assigned role permissions (for example, edit, share, and certify it).
Example – Sharing a data connection with all the content permissionsUser 1 shares an AI connection with User 2 and grants all the content permissions (View, Duplicate, Edit, Share, and Set permission).
User 2 has dataprep.access, dataprep.data-connection.create, and dataprep.dataset.set-permissions.
User 2 receives the connection on the Shared with me tab. User 2 can view and manage the shared data connection except certifying (because User 2 does not have the dataprep.data-connection.certify permission).
