## About this task

The collector authenticates using a Fivetran API key. The API key owner must have read access to destinations and connectors.

## Procedure

1. Create a Fivetran API key with read access to destinations and connectors.  
   See the [Fivetran role-based access control documentation](https://fivetran.com/docs/getting-started/fivetran-dashboard/account-management/role-based-access-control#rolesinourrbacmodel) for details on creating API keys and assigning permissions.
2. Save the API Key and API Secret.  
   You need these credentials when configuring the collector.
