# Set up a Factorial connector

> C1 provides identity governance for Factorial. Integrate your Factorial instance with C1 for unified visibility and governance over user access.

C1 provides identity governance for Factorial. Integrate your Factorial
instance with C1 for unified visibility and governance over employee access to
departments.

## Capabilities

| Resource                      | Sync                                                          | Provision |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
| Users (Factorial employees)   | <Icon icon="square-check" iconType="solid" color="#c937ae" /> |           |
| Departments (Factorial teams) | <Icon icon="square-check" iconType="solid" color="#c937ae" /> |           |

The connector is read-only. It syncs employees as users (enabled or disabled
from their employment status), departments from Factorial teams, and a `member`
relationship for each employee that belongs to a department.

## Gather Factorial credentials

<Warning>
  You need administrator access in Factorial to create an API key.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step>
    In Factorial, go to **Settings** > **Integrations** > **API keys**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Create a new API key. Use a read-only key.
