Element instances represent a single authenticated user for any element, such as DropBox, Google, or any other API provider that you wish to connect. To authenticate with a service, you will enter the credentials associated with your account, and every call you make through that element instance will use your account for that element. For each user or customer that is connecting to any element, a different element instance will need to be created.
