How access works
Each person signs in with their own Delve account. The connector acts as that person.
It can only see the teams, projects, and trackers that person can already see in Delve.
It can only make the changes that person's Delve role allows. A change made through the connector is the same as the person making it in Delve.
Delve uses a single sign-in scope. Access is not split by scope; it follows the person's Delve role.
Delve role | Through the connector, this person can |
|---|---|
Member | Use every read tool except quick search, and track or archive coverage |
Editor | Everything a Member can, plus edit trackers, searches, publication lists, competitors, topics, key messages, and custom themes, and create trackers and reports |
Team Admin | Everything an Editor can, plus create projects |
The connector cannot:
Delete projects, trackers, searches, or coverage
Add, remove, or change team members or their roles
Change team settings, billing, plan usage, or sign-in settings
Export coverage files
