1. A method performed by a Radio Access Network, RAN, function node, for handling connectivity in a RAN of a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
receiving from a network node, a first subscription request for one or more RAN insights relating to the connectivity, requested for an application related to a wireless device,
identifying RAN data needed to fulfil the subscription request for the one or more RAN insights,
sending to a RAN node, a second subscription request for the identified RAN data,
when RAN data according to the second subscription request is available, receiving from the RAN node, published RAN data according to the second subscription request,
generating the one or more RAN insights according to the first subscription request based on the received RAN data, and
establishing which domain out of a trusted domain or an untrusted domain the generated one or more RAN insights are to be exposed in, and
publishing the generated one or more RAN insights according to the first subscription request to reach the network node, wherein the publishing comprises an indication, indicating to the network node the established domain out of a trusted domain or an untrusted domain, that the generated one or more RAN insights are to be exposed in.
