# Set up a WP Engine connector

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

C1 provides identity governance for WP Engine. Integrate your WP Engine
portal with C1 for unified visibility and governance over which users have
access to which WP Engine accounts.

## Capabilities

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

The connector syncs WP Engine accounts and users from the Hosting Platform
API. Each account exposes membership grants showing which users belong to
that account.

This connector is read-only. It does not provision or modify access in
WP Engine.

## Gather WP Engine credentials

<Warning>
  You need WP Engine API credentials from the portal **API Access** page. The
  connector uses HTTP Basic authentication with an API username and password.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Sign in to the [WP Engine portal](https://my.wpengine.com/) as an account
    owner.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Open the **API Access** page at [https://my.wpengine.com/api\_access](https://my.wpengine.com/api_access).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Generate an API username (`WPE_API_USER_ID`) and password
    (`WPE_API_PASSWORD`) and copy both values.
  </Step>
</Steps>

        BATON_BASE_URL=https://api.wpengineapi.com/v1
        BATON_API_USERNAME=<WP Engine API username>
        BATON_API_PASSWORD=<WP Engine API password>
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step>
