Abacus.AI External Service Connectors
Abacus.AI Allows you to connect to multiple datasources. The platform offers three type of connectivity options:
- User Connectors: These are User-Level Connectors that allow individual users to connect to their own data sources. Beneficial in:
- Use cases where individual data access is required.
- Use cases where live-connection to data is required, as all of the search happens in real time.
- ORG Connectors: These are ORG-Level Connectors that allow you to ingest data based on orgnisation needs. Beneficial in:
- Machine Learning Use Cases
- GenAI use cases where we want to ingest specific document sets
- ORG RBAC Connectors: These are ORG-Level Connectors that provide role-based access control for secure and efficient data management. Beneficial in:
- Use cases where we need to control who has access to documents based on access rights
- Use cases where developers need to control the overall training process heavily
ORG Level connectors are by default available only to developers who have access to the development environment of the platform. You can also further restrict these connectors, by using our RBAC Module
On the other hand, user level connectors can be setup by any user - but it would require an admin to give consent to Abacus to access the necessary data. So these user-connectors would require authorization from the admin before they can be used.
