How to Edit a REST Query and Manage Its Audience

This section explains how to edit a REST query in the Integration module, as well as manage its audience. Through the audience feature, access to queries can be restricted. Once people or groups are included in the audience of a REST query, audience members will be able to view the query in the Manage REST Queries section of the Integration module, as well as in Queries section of the Home module. In addition, if the query is used as a data source for an aggregated query, audience members will be able to view the results of the REST query in the results of any aggregated queries in which it was used. Note that you will only be able to view the queries you created or in which you were included as an audience member, and that only the author of the query will be able to edit and delete it.
