What type of user parameter is intended to be controlled internally by the author and is not accessible to end-users?

• A. Published Parameters
• B. Private Parameters
• C. FME Server Parameters
• D. Transformer Parameters

Answer: (B)

Private Parameters are designed to be controlled internally by the workspace author and not exposed to end users. They let you hide sensitive or internal logic—such as credentials, flags, or constants—within the workspace so that end users can’t modify them. Published Parameters, by contrast, are meant for end-user configuration in a published workspace, while FME Server Parameters relate to server-side settings, and Transformer Parameters are used for configuring transformers during design. So the type intended for internal author control and hidden from end users is Private Parameters.
