# N-able N-central - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with N-able N-central, you need:

1. **N-central server URL** - Your N-central server hostname, for example `ncentral.example.com`.
2. **User-API token** - A JWT generated from the N-central UI for the user that should access the API.

### Prerequisites

* An N-central instance running version 2023.9 or later.
* A user account with access to generate a User-API token.
* The permissions required for the N-central API endpoints your integration calls.

### Instructions

#### Step 1: Find your N-central server URL

Use the hostname of your N-central instance without `https://` and without a path.

For example, if your N-central URL is `https://ncentral.example.com/dashboard`, enter `ncentral.example.com`.

#### Step 2: Generate a User-API token

1. In N-central, go to **Administration** -> **User Management** -> **Users**.
2. Open the user that should access the API.
3. Go to **API Access**.
4. Generate a JSON Web Token.
5. Copy the generated User-API token.

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

Once you have your **N-central server URL** and **User-API token**:

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with N-able N-central.
2. Enter your server hostname and User-API token.
3. Submit the form.
