Problem Copied

You want to restrict which data can be viewed by certain users, user groups. Not everyone should be able to access everything.

Possible solutions Copied

Gateway authentication behaviour is that once a user has gained login access to a gateway, they will be able to view all available data items hosted by that gateway. To restrict a user from accessing specific data items it won’t be enough with Authentication.

To allow only certain dataviews to be visible by particular users, a possible way is to use the Gateway Sharing feature.

The existing gateway should be configured with the Exported Data options. Then, you can start a new instance of a Gateway where certain users can access, and configure the Imported Data options to copy the existing data.

More details can be found in the Gateway sharing page.
