# Configuring and Managing Third-Party Connections

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

If your partners use third-party service providers such as VANs or 3PLs (third-party logistics
providers) who manage the B2B connectivity with your organization on behalf of your partners, you
can create a third-party connection to manage configurations such as the endpoints, identifiers, and
certificates of the third-party provider.

Use the **Partners** page to create and manage third-party connections. From this page, you can:

- [Create a new third-party connection](https://docs.mulesoft.com/partner-manager/latest/create-third-party).

- [Add the EDI and AS2 identifiers](https://docs.mulesoft.com/partner-manager/latest/partner-manager-identifiers) used by the third-party connection.

- [Manage the digital certificates](https://docs.mulesoft.com/partner-manager/latest/manage-partner-certificates) associated with the third-party
  connection.

- [Create](https://docs.mulesoft.com/partner-manager/latest/create-endpoint) and manage source and target endpoints owned by the third-party
  connection.

- [Modify third-party connection settings](https://docs.mulesoft.com/partner-manager/latest/modify-third-party-settings).

- [Delete a third-party connection](https://docs.mulesoft.com/partner-manager/latest/delete-third-party).

After you create a third-party connection, you can select the endpoints and identifiers configured
for that connection in message flows created for your partners.
