# Set up a Hugging Face connector

> C1 provides identity governance for Hugging Face. Integrate your Hugging Face organization with C1 for unified visibility and governance over user access.

C1 provides identity governance for Hugging Face. Integrate your Hugging Face
organization with C1 for unified visibility and governance over who can access
your organization and the role each member holds.

## Capabilities

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

The connector syncs your Hugging Face organization and its members (users),
along with each member's organization role (**No access**, **Read**,
**Contributor**, **Write**, or **Admin**).

## Gather Hugging Face credentials

<Warning>
  The token owner must be a member of the organization you want to connect, with
  at least a read role. A token with the **read-org** scope is sufficient to list
  organization members.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Sign in to Hugging Face and open **Settings** > **Access Tokens**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Create a new access token with the **read-org** scope. Copy the token
    (it begins with `hf_`) — it is shown only once.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Note your organization name — the slug shown in your organization URL
    (for example, `my-org` in `https://huggingface.co/my-org`).
  </Step>
</Steps>
