   1. You are welcome to connect using your own user account or via a dedicated service account. We typically recommend using a service account to avoid ambiguity in your data, especially for larger organizations.

Once your connection is live, you're ready to [set up your Teamcenter integration](https://docs.violetlabs.com/apps/t/teamcenter/setting-up-your-integration).
