How Do Destinations and Groups Relate?

Question

How do destinations and groups relate?

Environment

REST API

Answer

The destination is a cloud data warehouse, a database, an online data platform, or a data lake that your Fivetran connector replicates your source data to. A group maps users to the destination. We map a group to its destination on a 1:1 basis. This means that destination_id, group_id, and destination_group_id fields in our REST API denote both the destination and group ID.

When you use our REST API, you manage connectors and transformations using our Destination Management REST API resource destination, and users - using our Group Management REST API resource.
