This is a Parabola 201 course. We recommend completing Parabola 101: Foundations before starting here.

​
Who this course is for

This course is built for account admins and org admins — the people responsible for maintaining their organization’s Parabola account and making sure the rest of the team can do their work without friction. If you’re fielding questions like “Why did our flow stop running?” or “Can you give Marcus edit access to that flow?” or “How many credits did we use last month?” — this course is for you.
Common admin responsibilities: Onboarding and offboarding team members, monitoring credit consumption, managing integration credentials, organizing the team’s flow library, and staying on top of billing.

​
Your role as an admin

As an org admin, your responsibilities fall into three areas:
  1. Understanding credit consumption — knowing how credits are calculated, how your team’s flows use them, and how to stay ahead of your plan’s limits
  2. Managing users and flows — adding and removing team members, setting the right permissions, organizing flows into a maintainable structure, and handling offboarding cleanly
  3. Ensuring data access — controlling who can use which integrations, and making sure the right people have access to the right data

​
What you’ll learn in this course

1

User types & permissions

We start by mapping out the three user roles in Parabola — Admin, Editor, and Viewer — and the specific permission scopes available to admins on different plans.
2

What is a credit

We define what a credit is, how individual steps and AI steps consume them differently, and what happens as you approach your plan’s credit limit.
3

Usage analytics & reporting

We’ll show you exactly how to report on credit usage by flow and by user — so your management team has full visibility into how Parabola is being used across the organization.
4

Authenticating integrations & managing permissions

Learn the different approaches to connecting integrations, how to share credentials across your team, and how to implement a governance process for flow approvals.
5

Managing flows & folders

Finally, we’ll cover how to add and remove users, organize flows into a clear folder structure, and handle the operational side of keeping your account running smoothly.

​
What you’ll take away

After completing this course, you’ll be able to:
  • Understand how credits are consumed and anticipate your team’s needs
  • Use usage reporting and analytics to monitor activity across your organization
  • Configure and manage user permission levels
  • Set up a maintainable folder and flow structure for your team

Getting oriented

Before jumping into Lesson 2, spend a few minutes getting familiar with the two pages you’ll use most as an admin:
  • Team page — where you manage users, roles, and permissions
  • Billing & Usage page — where you monitor credits, view invoices, and access reports
You’ll return to both throughout the course.
