Sorry I can't figure this out, the link you've added is irrelevant for passthrough credentials, if we add it the cluster won't be passthrough, Is there a way to add this just for a specific folder? while keeping passthrough for the rest?

No, I'm actually having issues reading from the view in the same session that created it. Using the same view name I get a table or view not found.
