How is the sharing rules / security defined with Lightning Connect?
Hi,
I find the Lightning Connect feature a realy great one! But I have a question about the security model. How is access to the records defined?
Does the ODATA link login to the external source with somekind of administrator login (Access to all) and that the default record-sharing rules from Salesforce define the security or do users need to login individualy to the ODATA link?
If users login individualy this will mean that the user credentials need also be on the external part, right?
So, in short, how do I limit access to records on external objects for users?

I am not sure but my observation is like this;
First thing is that we need licnese to use the external data sources and external object is related with one external data connections.
To use the lightning conncect we need License that comes as $4000 per user.
So external objects will be only available to the users who will have this "Lightning connect" license.
and after that suppose multiple users are having "lightning connect" licnese then our normal security model will come into the picture that will apply only for users who is having licnese.
Hope it help
thanks
