Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Display as | Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists. If you do not add a display name, the connection will automatically be named using the account owner's name. For example, Egnyte (John Doe). If it will be useful for you to reference the connection by account, you should use the default name. | Optional |
User Type | Required | |
Connect as standard user | Select this option to create a standard connection to access a user's files and folders. This is the default selection. | |
Connect as account administrator | Select this option to create an administrator connection. This requires administrator privileges and grants access to all accounts within the organization. This option is often used along with | |

API Rate Limits
Depending on the project scope, performance may be impacted by Egnyte's rate-limiting restrictions. Prior to transferring content, DryvIQ recommends contacting Egynte (api-support@egnyte.com) to discuss increasing your API call volume by obtaining additional OAuth tokens. Requesting additional OAuth tokens will allow DryvIQ to make the required calls to Egnyte while working within their restrictions. The performance will depend on the number of additional OAuth tokens approved by Egnyte for your tenant. Please see Egnyte's documentation for further details.
