2. Settings

The writeback settings let admins configure various access settings for the users. The admin can configure the following settings:

Allowed Destination Types

Settings

Users will be able to add destinations based on the settings configured by the admin. Admins can restrict users from creating destinations altogether or restrict the creation of certain types of destinations. For example, the admin can prevent users from creating database destinations by disabling the Allow users to configure database connections option. When the toggle button for a particular destination type is disabled, users will only be able to use admin-configured destinations and cannot create their own.

The settings configured in the admin console will be applied to the Add Destination page as well. Users will only see the destination types they have permission to add.

Destination settings applied in the Add destination page

In addition to the above settings, you can configure user access control for writeback destinations which is explained here.
