The credentials that are used by the subscriber org to connect to the provider org are associated with a user in the provider org. We refer to this user as the connected user.
A user in the subscriber org can access only data that the connected user can access within the provider org. In other words, the subscriber org’s user access respects the connected user’s access restrictions, which are determined by these settings in the provider org.
In the subscriber org, grant users access to external objects via permission sets and profiles.
