How to implement access restriction for Salesforce workbench (tool to execute SOQL/SOSL queries)

Dear Friends,

Greetings!

We have developed an application on  Salesforce. Right now I'm working on partner developer edition on next version of the application. 

I can access data for the application using workbench (https://workbench.developerforce.com/login.php) with credentials of any user created on this partner developer edition (including system admin user).

My query is:

Is there any way we can restrict access to workbench for the users. i.e. I want the access for workbench to be given to certain users and NOT to all.

Because access to workbench for all users is compromising the data security of the application.

Can you please guide me on this issue.

Thanks and regards

Anup

Hi Anup,

You can restrict the users from accessing workbench by permission on profile "API Enabled". If this checkbox is disabled, the user will not be able to login to workbench.
