# Tailscale (OAuth) - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with Tailscale (OAuth), you need:

1. **Organization Name** - The unique name for your organization.
2. **Client ID** - A unique identifier for your OAuth client in Tailscale.
3. **Client Secret** - A confidential key used to authenticate the identity of the OAuth client.

This guide will walk you through finding or creating those credentials within Tailscale.

### Prerequisites:

* You must have a Tailscale account with **admin access** to create and manage OAuth clients.

2. Navigate to the [General page](https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings/general).
3. Your **Organization Name** will be displayed in the **Organization** field.
