# Create OAuth Credentials

Jama Connector authenticates with the Jama repository using OAuth. Before installing the connector, obtain OAuth credentials that the connector can use. You should use a user account that has permission to see everything that you want to index into IDOL.

To obtain the credentials, go to the user profile page and click Set API Credentials. For more information about using OAuth in Jama, refer to the Jama developer documentation.
