Implementing User Roles to Restrict Pipeline Usage Without Connection Objects

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

In stages where data is read from or written to, it is essential to define a connection, such as a database, storage, or HTTP server. This requirement can pose a security risk, as users might enter databases or locations that comply with firewall rules set for engines but allow data to be taken outside the company.

To mitigate this risk, a user role should be implemented to restrict users from manually entering connection properties and plain credentials when defining stages. Instead, users would be limited to using pre-defined connections, ensuring that data remains secure and within company boundaries.
