Semi-Restricted and Restricted Run Mode Details

Platform Admins set a run mode when installing Analytics Hub or Platform Admin > Settings > General > Run Mode. This is the list of blocked tools, events, and data connectors for both Semi-Restricted and Restricted run modes. Semi-Restricted and Restricted run modes require a Run As user to be set up on the platform.

Run As

Restricted and Semi-Restricted run modes require a Run As user. The Run As user is the default account that the engine service runs as. To set a Run As user, go to Platform Admin > Settings > General > Run As. Enter a username and password for the Run As user. Select Save.

If you have engine workers, each worker has to have that user or system account. When AAH sends a workflow to run on the engine worker with a run as user specified, that account needs to exist on the machine.

To check or change your run mode setting

1. Go to INSTALL_LOCATION\Alteryx\Alteryx Analytics Hub
2. Open the Settings.yml configuration file.
3. Find your current setting (for example, run_mode: "0"). Available settings are:
   • 0 = unrestricted
   • 1 = semi-restricted
   • 2 = restricted
4. Update the setting and select File > Save.
