5. Select Connect.

## Result

A test connection is made to the external data source, verifying that the connection details are correct and the data source is accessible.

## What to do next

If the connection succeeds, configure data steward access on the Access Control tab. See [Manage access to an established connection using roles](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/kr8mlJMAdWNHxVz4wmb78w "Manage which data stewards can access an established connection and create data fabric tables.").

If the connection fails, verify the connection details with your data source administrator and try again.
