Accounts

Definition

User accounts identify a user registered on your different systems, like your CRM, a loyalty program or any authentication system. They have the following properties:

Property	Type	Description
user_account_id	String	Usually the same as the ID as the source, like your CRM.
compartment_id	String	Compartment associated with the user account
creation_ts	Timestamp	Account's creation timestamp

Always use the user_account_id in correlation with a compartment_id to identify a user by its account. If you don't specify a compartment_id, then the default compartment will be used.

A Compartment is a group that organizes specific user account identifiers. Each compartment has a unique ID that is used to identify the corresponding user account identifier. For instance, “UTIQ Martechpass” might have the compartment id 20.

There are two categories of Compartments:

• The First-party user account compartments which compartments contain user account identifiers created within your organization, such as CRM identifiers.

• Shared user account compartments which include user account identifiers shared from another organisation.

For instance, if you wish to add UTIQ to your datamart, first subscribe to it within your community organisation. It will then be automatically shared with your other organisations, but you’ll still need to activate it within your datamart.
