Overview

This account is used by the Snaps in the Akamai Snap Pack.

You can create an account from a Designer or Manager. In Designer, when working on pipelines, every Snap that needs an account prompts you to create a new account or use an existing account. 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 Project Space.

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

Drag an Akamai 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.
