Introduction to the Authorizations page#
The Authorizations page is where you manage the authorizations that allow you to collect data from your chosen data sources.
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.
After you have created at least one authorization, the Authorizations page provides an overview of your authorizations.
Use these filters to view your authorizations according to different properties. See below for more information about these filters.
