# Datto RMM (Password Grant) - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with Datto RMM, you need:

1. **Platform** – Your Datto RMM platform (e.g., `merlot`, `pinotage`, `concord`, `vidal`, `zinfandel`, `syrah`). This determines your API base URL like `https://<platform>-api.centrastage.net`.
2. **API Key** - A unique identifier used to generate an access token for requests associated with your account.
3. **API Secret Key** - A secret token used alongside the **API Key** to generate an access token for authenticating requests.

This guide walks you through enabling API access and finding your **Platform (Region)** in Datto RMM.

### Prerequisites:

* Admin access to your Datto RMM tenant.

### Step 1: Enable API access and generate API keys

1. Login to your Datto RMM instance, go to **Setup** > **Global Settings** > **Access Control** and toggle the **Enable API Access** button.
