> Learn how to connect your Datadog instance to Opal to manage and review access.

You can connect Datadog to Opal to manage and review access to Datadog roles.

## Supported resources

| Resource | Read | Grant and revoke access |
| - | - | - |
| Roles | ✔️ | ✔️ |

With Opal’s Datadog integration:

* Users can request access to Datadog
* Admins can provision/connect their Datadog instance to Opal
* Approve requests or assign roles in Datadog to end-users

## Requirements

To connect with Datadog, you must first:

* Be an Opal Admin
* Be on version `1.1152.0` or later if you self-host Opal

## 1. Create Datadog App in Opal

In Opal, go to the **Inventory > + App**, then select **Datadog**.

## 2. Configure fields in the Datadog App

In your Datadog tenant, go to **Settings > Access**. Create an API key and an Application Key, and take note of them.

The Datadog role assigned to the user who owns these keys must include the following permissions:

* `user_access_read` - View users and their roles and settings.
* `user_access_manage` - Disable users, manage user roles, manage SAML-to-role mappings, and configure logs restriction queries.

Back in Opal, fill in the app name, admin, description and visibility. Input your Datadog tenant's region under **Datadog Site**, and the API and Application key you created in the respective fields.

## 3. Create and sync

Upon saving the app, you can begin importing Datadog roles via **...** > **Import items**.
