# Set Up an AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Connection

Create an AWS Aurora PostgreSQL connection to bring in data into Data 360.

| User Permissions Needed |                                                             |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| To create a connection: | System Admin profile or Data Cloud Architect permission set |

Before you begin:

- Review the [IP addresses](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_data_cloud_ip_address_allowlist.htm&type=5) to make sure the AWS Aurora PostgreSQL connection has the necessary access.

1.  In Data Cloud, click **Setup**, and select **Data Cloud Setup**.

2.  Under External Integrations, select **Other Connectors**.

3.  Click **New**.

4.  On the Source tab, select **AWS Aurora PostgreSQL**, and then click **Next**.

5.  Enter a connection name, connection API name, and provide the authentication and connection details.

6.  For Authentication Details, provide the username and password to authenticate the user.

7.  For Connection Details, enter Connection URL that uses the following format: `{section1}.{section2}.{section3}.rds.amazonaws.com{:port}`

    1. Section 1 is 1–63 lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), or hyphens (-).
    2. Section 2 is 1–20 characters, including uppercase (A–Z) or lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), underscores (\_), or hyphens (-).
    3. Section 3 is 1–100 characters, including uppercase (A–Z) or lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), underscores (\_), or hyphens (-).
    4. The port is optional. If included, the port is 4–5 numbers (0–9) and prefixed with a colon (:).

8.  For Schema, enter the database schema the user's access is limited to for this connection.

9.  For Database, enter the PostgreSQL database for which the user's credentials are authenticated.

10. To review your configuration, click **Test Connection**.

11. Click **Save**.

After the connector details are accepted, the connection is created and listed under Connectors.
