[Qgis-user] automate connection to a PostGIS db for QGIS

[Richard McDonnell]

Hi,
I’m unaware of a script, but you could just create a Default Project. These can be stored at a central location, everyone can access or place on their desktop, which will load all the Layers they require.

If it’s any help, all the connection details are stored under the QGIS user Profiles. On Windows these can be found here C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles, maybe someone here could point out how you might be able to create a single file which can be placed within each users default Profile.
I think though messing with peoples profiles could be problematic, which is why I’d suggest the Default Project as above

Sorry I can’t be of any more help.
Regards,

Richard.

Hi guys,

About to host a PostGIS db on our server, and want users to connect to the db in QGIS.
Is there a way I can push out a script (?) to all user's machines that sets the connection to the postgis db for QGIS?
Rather than manually entering authentication on each machine?
I have one generic role for users as they will be read-only users.

thanks,
Tim
