This type of connection isn't secure because it doesn't rely on end-user authentication. **It should only be used in cases where you can safely assume that everyone who has access to this connection can see and use all of the data to which the connection provides access.** You can't reliably lock down portions of the data accessible within the connection. For instance, if the connection allows access to a single table, you can't rely on a userID to filter and only show data for that specific user within that table. For a reliable security, use more secure connection such as [Azure AD Integrated](connections-list.md#azure-active-directory-aad).

In SQL Server, this type of connection is called **SQL Server Authentication**. Many other database data sources provide a similar capability. When you publish your application, your users don't need to supply a unique user name and password. They're using the user name and password you supply when you author the application. The connection authentication to the data source is **Implicitly Shared** with your users. Once the application is published, the connection is also published and available to your users. Your end users can also create applications using any connection using SQL Server authentication that is shared with them. Your users can't see the user name or password, but the connection will be available to them. **There are valid scenarios for this type of connection. For instance if you have a read-only database that is available to everyone in the company. Reference data scenarios (for example, a corporate calendar) can be useful for this kind of connection.** More information: [Use Microsoft SQL Server securely with Power Apps](connections/sql-server-security.md)
