# Set up a Tailscale connector

> Integrate your Tailscale instance with C1 to run user access reviews, enable just-in-time access requests, and easily provision and deprovision access.

<Tip>
  **A newer version of this connector is available.** This version of the connector is no longer available for installation. If you're setting up a Tailscale connector with C1 for the first time, use the [v2 version](/baton/tailscale).

## Gather Tailscale credentials

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in credentials generated in Tailscale. Gather these credentials before you move on.

<Warning>
  A user with the **Admin** role in Tailscale must perform this task.

### Generate a new API key

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Log into Tailscale as an Admin user and click **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Keys**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Generate API key**. A **Generated new key** window opens showing the full value of the newly created key.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Copy and save the API key.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Cloud-hosted">
    **Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.**

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        In C1, navigate to **Apps** > **Connectors** and click **Add connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step>

        Choose where to add the connector: **Create a new app**, or **Add to an existing app** (then select the app).

        If you're creating a new app, choose whether to link it to an application discovered from your identity provider: select **Yes** and pick the IdP application, or **No** to continue with just the connector.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Set the connector's **Name** and, optionally, a **Description**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click the pencil icon next to **Owners** to choose who can configure and manage this connector.

      <Step>
        Click **Save**.
      </Step>
