Title: Question: dataset without access package
Post by: Dutch on 27 Jul 2021 01:08:44 AM
Hi guys,
Does a enduser need autorisation for a package when using a dashboard which has been made by a datamodule that exists of datasets?
These datasets come from a FM-package. However that user does not have access to the package. Is that necessary? (I hope not) The data has been loaded into memory and does not need the package anymore I believe.

I hope somebody is so kind to answer my question. Thank you!

A data set exists independently of what was used to create it.   You can think of it as being a single table data source.

The data and metadata available in the data set is that which is available to the data set creator at the time he created the data set and will be loaded into the data set.  The data and object security of the FM package are not referenced in the data set.  This can have security implications.  Data can be exposed to users who otherwise would not been able to see it.
