# Manage connected accounts

When you create a new data flow, Coupler.io asks you to connect your accounts for sources and destinations. You can manage your connections and create new ones from the respective sections.

### 'Sources' and 'Destinations' sections <a href="#connections-section" id="connections-section"></a>

All your connections are stored in the 'Sources' and 'Destinations' sections of the Coupler.io web application. You can navigate it through the side panel:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/JIuxDr3D7cCFkQDZ1f33" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

<a href="https://app.coupler.io/app/sources" class="button secondary" data-icon="chevron-right">Open Source section</a>

<a href="https://app.coupler.io/app/destinations" class="button secondary" data-icon="angle-right">Open Destination section</a>

The Sources and the Destinations pages represent a list of connected accounts used as sources, organized by the date they were connected. From there, you can also set the connection status to either Private or Shared.

* If you set a connection status to Shared, it will be available across the entire Coupler.io organization (your account). So, other users within your organization will be able to reuse it when creating new data flows.
* If you set a connection status to Private, it will be available for you only. Nobody will be able to reuse it when creating data flows.&#x20;

You can also reconnect (in case it shows any kind of error, to re-establish the connection) or disconnect (delete) existing connections from these pages. As well as add new source/destination connections and create data flows.

### Manage shared and private connected accounts <a href="#shared-private" id="shared-private"></a>

Organization owners can rename/reconnect/disconnect their private or shared connections, as well as other users' shared connections.

Workspace members with the "**User**" or "**Admin**" role are not able to perform any actions with private connected accounts of another user. But they can see & use other users' shared connections.

Workspace members with the "**Guest**" role can rename/reconnect/disconnect only their private or shared connections.
