# Set up a Cisco Catalyst Center connector

> C1 provides identity governance for Cisco Catalyst Center. Integrate your Catalyst Center instance with C1 for unified visibility and governance over administrator access.

C1 provides identity governance for Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly DNA Center).
Integrate your Catalyst Center instance with C1 for unified visibility and
governance over administrator accounts and RBAC roles.

## Capabilities

| Resource | Sync                                                          | Provision |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
| Users    | <Icon icon="square-check" iconType="solid" color="#c937ae" /> |           |
| Roles    | <Icon icon="square-check" iconType="solid" color="#c937ae" /> |           |

The connector reads each Catalyst Center administrator account, each RBAC role,
and the roles assigned to every account through the Catalyst Center Intent API.
Each role is exposed as an entitlement, and a grant is emitted for every account
assigned that role.

## Gather Cisco Catalyst Center credentials

<Warning>
  You need a Catalyst Center account with read access to the **User and Roles**
  administration area so the connector can list administrators and roles.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Note the base URL of your Catalyst Center instance, for example
    `https://sandboxdnac.cisco.com`. This is the address you use to reach the
    Catalyst Center web UI.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Identify (or create) a Catalyst Center account with read access to the
    **User and Roles** area, and record its **username** and **password**.
  </Step>
</Steps>
