How accounts, groups, views, connectors, and watchlists fit together

The relationship between the key entities in Pulse Connect follows a clear hierarchy. Understanding how they connect helps you configure access and data correctly.

  1. An Account is created at registration. It holds all configuration for an organization.
  2. Connectors are created by an Admin within an account, pointing to external systems.
  3. Endpoints are defined within each Connector, specifying which data queries are available.
  4. Views are designed by a Designer using existing Connectors and Endpoints.
  5. Groups are created by an Admin or Designer. Each Group contains:
    • One or more Views (deciding which pages exist for that group).
    • One or more Users (deciding who can see those pages).
  6. A User can be a member of multiple Groups, and therefore sees the combined set of views from all their groups.
  7. A user saves records of interest to their personal Watchlist, which is independent of group membership.
