Core concepts#

What is an authorization?

An authorization gives Adverity access to a data source or a destination. You need to create an authorization to collect data and load it into external destinations. You can use one authorization to create multiple datastreams and destinations.

What are authorization permissions?

Most authorizations give Adverity access to multiple items that are linked to the authorization, such as accounts or profiles. When you create an authorization, you set permissions that define which items Adverity can access.
