# INGENIOUS.BUILD - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with INGENIOUS.BUILD, you need:

1. **Subdomain** - The subdomain of your INGENIOUS.BUILD workspace.
2. **Client ID** - The client ID for your OAuth Application.
3. **Client Secret** - The client secret for your OAuth Application.

This guide walks you through creating an OAuth Application in INGENIOUS.BUILD and obtaining these credentials. Only admin users can create OAuth Applications.

### Prerequisites:

* You must have an INGENIOUS.BUILD account with admin access to your workspace.

### Instructions:

#### Step 1: Finding your subdomain

1. Log in to your INGENIOUS.BUILD workspace.

2. Look at the URL in your browser's address bar: `https://<subdomain>.ingenious.build`.

3. The **Subdomain** is the part of the URL before `.ingenious.build`.

#### Step 2: Creating an OAuth Application

1. Go to **Company Settings** > **OAuth Applications**.

2. Click **Create Application**.

3. Enter a name for the application and save.

4. The system generates a **Client ID** and **Client Secret** for the application.

<Note>
  The Client Secret is only shown once, at creation time. Copy and store it securely — if you lose it, you'll need to regenerate a new one from the same OAuth Application page.
</Note>

<Note>
  This OAuth 2.0 client credentials grant provides access to all resources within the workspace. You can revoke the application at any time from **Company Settings** > **OAuth Applications** to invalidate its tokens.
</Note>

#### Step 3: Enter credentials in the Connect UI

Once you have your **Subdomain**, **Client ID**, and **Client Secret**:

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with INGENIOUS.BUILD.
2. Enter your **Subdomain** in its designated field.
3. Enter your **Client ID** in its designated field.
4. Enter your **Client Secret** in its designated field.
5. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
