Is there a way to bypass or "Enable All" for Site Connection Object Permissions?

Hi everyone,

 

I’m currently working on a Nintex App where I have a large number of Connection Objects (tables/views), where most end-users are assigned to the Standard Site Permission Set.

 

Currently, under Site Settings > Connection Access, I have to manually select every single object and configure the "Object Permissions" (Create, Read, Update, Delete) one by one. This is becoming very tedious as the project grows. If a new object is added, the developer has to manually remember to go back into the Site settings to enable it, or the App fails to pull data.

My Question: Is there a way to "Enable All" by default or bypass this specific Site-level permission check?

I am already managing my security and access control via App Permissions. I would prefer for the Site Connection to simply "trust" the App's permissions rather than requiring this secondary, granular configuration for every individual object.

Has anyone found a workaround, a "Select All" toggle, or a way to set the permission type to a more global "Full Access" that doesn't require individual object maintenance?

Hi ​@yonghua.poh, thanks for your feedback.

Enable all. This isn’t currently an option to encourage that admins will be thoughtful about granting access to data. It is frustrating to have to manually click through everything, though! If it’s a feature you want to see, you can share the idea at ideas.nintex.com.

Site permissions v. app permissions. You should be able to ignore site permissions if the user already has access through the app permissions. Site permissions are being deprecated soon, so we suggest you focus on granting access through app permissions.

Hi ​@annajosephine , thanks for the reply.

Yes, I have started to use the App Permission only, but since the Site permissions feature still being active, I still need to configure it in the meantime. Hopefully Nintex can provide allow developer to just turn-off the Site-Permission feature or depreciate it as soon as possible. :D

Thanks, ​@yonghua.poh. I didn’t realize you were using Nintex Data as the connector, but I see that now. App permissions should support Nintex Data very soon
