Configure the Connector User

The connector user is a user that facilitates data syncing. These tasks apply only to business units that aren’t using the Pardot integration user.

Note
Note Pardot is now known as Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. We wish we could snap our fingers to update the name everywhere, but you can expect to see the previous name in a few places until we replace it, including in the app itself.
  • Assign the Connector User Permission Set
    After the Account Engagement package is installed in your Salesforce org, you grant the connector user the Account Engagement Connector User permission set.
  • Assign Object Permissions to the Connector User
    Because of Salesforce security restrictions, an admin must manually configure your connector user’s permissions for Salesforce standard objects. These objects aren’t covered by the Pardot Connector User permission set. This step applies only to Account Engagement business units with Salesforce connector v1, or business units using Marketing Data Sharing.
