# USER CONNECTIONS

- [Users](https://docs.powens.com/api-reference/user-connections/users.md): Users represent the top-level isolation level of synchronized data. They are intended to be actively managed by clients to mirror their own end-user definition.
- [Connectors](https://docs.powens.com/api-reference/user-connections/connectors.md): Connectors represent business institutions that Powens can establish connections with, in order to extract data.
- [Connections](https://docs.powens.com/api-reference/user-connections/connections.md): Connections materialize the individual link between a user and a connector. They act as a parent for business data and hold metadata about the synchronization state, the PSU credentials and consents.
