Passwordless database access

Control whether project members can query a service from Tiger Console without database credentials

Passwordless database access lets project members query a service through SQL editor and Data view without supplying database credentials. You control this access separately for each service.

Turning off passwordless database access disables SQL editor for the service and prevents Data view from connecting without database credentials. Data view remains available with database credentials and a network connection to the service. Project membership alone no longer grants database access through these tools.

If your security policy requires users to connect through your private network, turn off passwordless database access as well as configuring private networking. This setting controls the console's passwordless query connections; it does not change network restrictions or platform maintenance access.

To change the setting, you need permission to update the service, and the service must be running:

Select your service in Tiger Console
Open Operations > Security > Passwordless access
Turn Allow passwordless database access on or off
This setting was previously named SQL Editor and was under Operations > Service management.
