Overview

You can create an account from a Designer or Manager. In Designer, when working on pipelines, every Snap that requires an account prompts you to create a new account or use an existing one. The accounts can be created in or used from:

Configure Unix Execution Accounts Using SnapLogic Designer

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

Select an existing account

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

  1. In the Account tab, click the (blue star) icon to view the accounts you can access and select the account you want to use.

  2. Click (blue star)

Create an account

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

Configure Unix Execution Accounts Using SnapLogic Manager

You can use 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 you want to create the account and click (blue star) > Account Unix Execution, followed by the appropriate account type. The SnapLogic Manager displayed the Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type.

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

note

Avoid updating account credentials while pipelines using that account are executing. Doing so may lead to unexpected results, including your account getting locked.
