Configuring REST Accounts

You can configure your REST accounts in SnapLogic using either the Designer or Manager

Using SnapLogic Designer

Drag a REST Snap to the Canvas and click the Snap to open its settings. Click the Account tab. You can either use an existing account or create a new one.

Selecting an existing account

SnapLogic organizes and displays all accounts to which you have access, sorting them by account type and location. To select an existing account:

  1. Click the  icon to view the accounts to which you have access and select the account to use.

  2. Click 

Creating an account

  1. Click Add Account in the Account Reference dialog.

  2. Select the Location in which you want to create the account, select the account type, and click ContinueThe Add Account dialog associated with the account type appears..

    titleBest Practice

    Enter additional information for this account in the Notes field of the Info tab. This will help you–and other users–understand the purpose of the account, especially if there are multiple accounts of the same type.


  4. Click Validate to verify the account, if the account type supports validation.

  5. Click Apply to complete configuring the REST account.

Using SnapLogic Manager

Use SnapLogic Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with Pipelines.

Note

Accounts in SnapLogic are associated with projects. You can use accounts created in other projects only if you have at least Read access to them.

  1. In the left pane, browse to the project in which you want to create the account and click CreateAccount REST, followed by the appropriate account type.

    The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type appears.

  2. Repeat the steps numbered 3 through 5 in Creating an account above.
Note

Avoid updating account credentials while Pipelines using that account are executing. This may lead to unexpected results, including locking your account in SnapLogic.
