User Connectors

User connectors enable Abacus.AI to access data sources under each end user’s own identity, rather than through shared credentials. Every query executes with the user’s database permissions/user roles, ensuring that established role-based access control (RBAC) policies are consistently enforced and that access is attributable to specific individuals.

This model enhances security and governance by eliminating credential sharing, adhering to the principle of least privilege, and producing per-user audit trails. It integrates with existing identity and authorization controls in your database, aligning with enterprise compliance requirements while minimizing operational overhead. There are two primary ways to work with user-level connectors in ChatLLM Teams:

  1. Configure user connectors in the ChatLLM Teams UI

    • Navigate to: Profile → First Party Connectors.
    • From there, you can log in to any supported user connector.
    • Once configured, these connectors are available to Abacus AI Deep Agent as well as to other large language model chatbots within ChatLLM Teams.

  2. Attach user connectors when training a Custom Chatbot

    • In the development platform, while configuring a Custom Chatbot, you can select a specific user connector for that bot to use.
    • This allows you to design highly tailored chatbot experiences, controlling exactly which user-level connectors the chatbot can access.
