# Managing Salesforce Connections

Your Salesforce connection tells Dataloader from MuleSoft which org and credentials to use for a task.

With the included or **Professional** editions, you can configure one Salesforce connection per account. With **[Dataloader.io Enterprise](https://dataloader.io/pricing)**, you can manage up to **10** Salesforce connections in one account.

## Salesforce Connection Types

There are two connection types:

- Primary: The default connection tied to your Salesforce login.
- Secondary: Additional connections that **Enterprise** users can add and edit.

Connections are unique to each user, organization, and environment.

**note:** Adding a secondary connection with another user's Salesforce credentials doesn’t upgrade that user's Dataloader.io plan. For example, if Enterprise User A adds a connection for User B, User B's account doesn’t automatically become Enterprise.

## Add a Salesforce Connection

1. In the header, open the user menu, then click **Settings**.

2. Select the **Connections** tab.

3. To add a new connection, click **NEW CONNECTION**, then choose **Salesforce**.

4. Choose the environment and click **Login with Salesforce**.

## Use a Secondary Connection

1. Create or edit a task.

2. Select the Salesforce connection for the task.
