Overview of the V‑Spark Hierarchy
Understanding how to use the V‑Spark API requires that you understand how the different components that make up a V‑Spark installation are organized. This organization can be thought of as the V‑Spark hierarchy:
company - the highest structural entity within the hierarchy of a V‑Spark installation. Multiple companies can be defined within a V‑Spark installation, but only the administrators of that installation or users with company-level administrative privileges can view and modify the data that is associated with a company. Each user in a V‑Spark installation is associated with a single company.
organization - a logical unit (group) within a company
folder - a repository for files and transcripts that are associated with an organization. Multiple folders can be associated with a single organization.
applications - customized analytics tools that are associated with one or more folders
users - individual accounts that are defined within a company and can belong to one or more organizations
system - administrative configuration information that is associated with a single V‑Spark installation.
