# Use a Marketing Vendor to Create a Granular Data Center Data Stream

Use a marketing vendor to pull in your granular data when creating a Granular Data Center data stream. Marketing vendors are set up the same way as Marketing Cloud Intelligence API connectors, but these connectors are big data compatible and work differently.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small permission">
        <colgroup>
          <col style="width:50%">
          <col style="width:50%">
        </colgroup>
        <thead class="slds-text-title_caps ">
          <tr class="">
            <th scope="colgroup" class="slds-cell-wrap" colspan="2" style="text-align:center;vertical-align:top;" id="d60829e38">User Permissions Needed</th>
          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <tr class="">
            <td data-label="User Permissions Needed" class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d60829e38 ">To create a Granular Data Center data stream:</td>

            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d60829e38 ">Admin</td>

          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>

To create a Granular Data Center data stream:

    ![data\_lake\_marketing](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-salesforce_datorama-264-0-0-production-enus/d38a342d-dd4a-4af8-8343-f372280a75dd/salesforce_datorama/images/datalakes/dato_data_lakes_marketing.png)
4. Select a marketing vendor from the list.
    
    ![marketing\_vendorslist](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-salesforce_datorama-264-0-0-production-enus/d38a342d-dd4a-4af8-8343-f372280a75dd/salesforce_datorama/images/datalakes/data_lakes_marketing_vendors.png)
5. If you don’t see the vendor you’re using, click **Go to Marketplace** for more connectors and download it there.
6. Define the connector’s details.
7. To change the mapping and customize the data, click **Mapping**. (See [Mapping Data Lake Data](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.dato_data_lakes_mapping.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "If you uploaded a file or used a technical vendor to create a Granular Data Center data stream, you’re redirected to a mapping preview screen. Here you can verify that your data has been identified correctly, change mapping, add mapping formulas, and more. When data is uploaded to a Granular Data Center data stream, a table is created. The table is dynamic according to the type of loaded data. The type affects the data load options and behavior.") for more information.)
8. To define advanced settings, click **Advanced Settings**. (See [Advanced Settings in Marketing Cloud Intelligence Streams](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.dato_data_adv_streams.htm&language=en_US) for more information.)
    
    Not all settings are relevant to Granular Data Center data streams, so some options don’t appear or are disabled.
9. Save your work.
    
    A new Granular Data Center data stream is created with all the correlating tables.
