Managed Connectors

Vendor-Configured Connectors

Use the Managed Connectors page to provide custom Connectors to TIBCO Scribe® Online users. These Connectors, configured using the TIBCO Scribe® Online CDK, provide your users with the tools to perform a wide variety of tasks. It is up to you, as a Connector vendor, to determine what your Connector does.

TIBCO Scribe® Online provides two levels of customer access to Connectors:

• Marketplace — These Connectors are available from the Marketplace. Customers can install them from the Marketplace Connectors page.
• Restricted — These Connectors are only available directly from the vendor. To use this Connector, the vendor must grant access to a specific Organization. Access can be granted from the Managed Connectors page as described in Adding Customers. Once access has been granted, the Connector is installed and displays on the Customer's Connectors page with the Restricted icon ().

Customers

From the Managed Connectors page:

• See which Organizations or Customers have installed the Connectors for which you are the vendor.
• Provide access to Restricted Connectors developed by your company to specific Organizations.
• Remove access to a Connector that you own for an Organization.
