After you configure the connectors, you must specify access rights to make the connectors available for users of any Spotfire client.

In Spotfire, the access rights to data from connectors are controlled by the following items:

• The data source authentication. See the official help for the data source of interest for more information. For a short summary of which authentication modes are available for a specific connector, you can view the help section for the connector in the Spotfire Analyst User's Guide.
• The licenses that are enabled for the end user groups. For more information, see Groups and licenses.

If the steps in Configuring connectors for use with web clients and Automation Services are performed on the Spotfire Web Player service, and an analysis using that connection is created, then users of Spotfire web clients can connect to the data source directly.
