Excel connected to sql server

Others need to access to view and be able to change pivots, selections etc.
I have given them all read permissions but will
They need to enter credentials every time the open the file?
I am running a batch in the morning to open and update the data so when they open it’s quick and easy for them but don’t want to make them connect each time they view the file.

IMO_Data , credentials are required only once, but for each user who runs the file - if you use Windows authentication. Alternatively you may connect to SQL server with database user using SQL server authentication.
