Overview

You must create Transform accounts to connect to data sources that you want to use in your Pipelines. You can create an account in SnapLogic using the Manager. The accounts can be created in or used from:

  • Your private project folder: This folder contains the pipelines that will use the account.

  • Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to the Project Space.

  • The global shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users within an organization in the SnapLogic instance.
