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)
