Edit a Data Connector

You can re-open the Data Connector create page and modify the connector information using this option.

Use Edit to update an existing Data Connector. The editable fields vary by connector type and category.

Prerequisites:

  • Access to Data Center → Data Connectors.

  • Permission to edit the selected connector.

Steps

  1. Open the Data Connectors list.

  2. Select a Data Connector.

  3. Click the View/Edit icon for that connector.

    • Result: The connector opens in editable form.

  4. Update the permitted fields (these vary by connector).

  5. Click Save.

What you can typically edit (examples)

Note: Exact fields depend on the connector category/type.

  • Name/Description

  • Host/URL, Port, Database/Schema

  • Authentication (username/password, OAuth/token, key)

  • Advanced (SSL/TLS options, parameters, timeouts)

Notes & tips:

  • After changing credentials or network settings, consider Reconnect (or Test Connection, if available) to validate access.

  • Review downstream assets (e.g., Datasets, Data Store, Data as API) that rely on this connector and run a quick check/query after edits.

  • Use clear, environment-aware names (e.g., Postgres_Prod, SFDC_UAT) to avoid misconfiguration.

Troubleshooting

  • Save disabled or fails: Confirm required fields are filled and valid (host, port, auth).

  • Edits saved, but queries fail: Reconnect the connector and verify network/allowlist and credentials.

  • Can’t edit certain fields: Those fields may be locked for the connector type; contact an admin or create a new connector via Create +.
