Rules the system enforces

  • Each account receives a unique account key, encrypted connector token, loopback connector endpoint and isolated session directory.
  • The account creator is granted View, Reply, Convert and Manage for the new account.
  • Account deletion is a soft operational deletion after successful isolated runtime removal; messages, verification evidence, portal history and audit remain.
  • Verify the connection card shows the linked device as ready and that recent conversations become available in Inbox.

How to confirm it worked

  • The requested action completes without a permission, validation, connector or native CRM error.
  • The selected account or conversation shows the expected state without changing another account’s data.
  • Where the action creates evidence, confirm the message, native record, verification event, portal history or audit entry is present.

Security, privacy and troubleshooting checks

  • Never expose connector tokens, loopback ports, authentication directories or raw customer verification replies.
  • Use the supported Connections, Access Control, Settings and Audit Trail pages rather than editing runtime or database records directly.
  • If the expected control is missing, verify both native capability and per-account permission before treating it as an installation fault.
