Overview

This account is used by the Snaps in the Sap Ariba 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.
