# Connect to Incorta

## Lightup account setup: Incorta

You'll need an Incorta user account in the database you want to monitor. You might already have a user set up that will work, or you might need to create one. Be sure to grant the user sufficient permissions using security roles.

### Create a Lightup user in Incorta

1. Create a user named _lightup_ in the database you want to monitor.
2. Grant the user the **Analyze User** role.

For help creating a user and granting security roles, see [Incorta's Security Manager help page](https://docs.incorta.com/cloud/tools-security-manager).

## Datasource setup

For steps to set up a datasource (including Incorta), see Manage datasources. Below are the Incorta connector settings you will use while setting up a datasource.

### Connector settings

* **Host Name** - The hostname for the datasource (check the browser address bar; you want the string between **//** and **/**). Example: `https://`**`host.na.me`**`/`
* **Database Name** - The name of the database you're connecting to.
* **Username** - The name of the Lightup user.
* **Password** - The Lightup user's password.
