# Set up an AvaTax connector

> C1 provides identity governance for Avalara AvaTax. Integrate your AvaTax account with C1 for unified visibility and governance over user access.

C1 provides identity governance for Avalara AvaTax. Integrate your AvaTax
account with C1 for unified visibility and governance over user access.

## Capabilities

| Resource  | Sync | Provision |
| --------- | ---- | --------- |
| Accounts  | ✓    | —         |
| Companies | ✓    | —         |
| Users     | ✓    | —         |

The connector reads accounts, companies, and users, and reconstructs each
user's account membership, security-role assignment, and company membership as
access grants.

## Prerequisites

* An Avalara AvaTax account with administrator access.
* An account ID and a license key with read access. Both are available in the
  AvaTax portal under **Settings → License and API keys**.
* Decide whether to connect the **production** or **sandbox** environment.

## Setup

1. In the AvaTax portal, go to **Settings → License and API keys** and copy your
   **Account ID** and generate (or copy) a **License key**.
2. In C1, create a new AvaTax connector.
3. Enter the **Account ID** and **License key**, and choose the **Environment**
   (`production` or `sandbox`, defaulting to `production`).
4. Save the connector. C1 verifies the credentials and begins the first sync.

## Authentication

The connector authenticates to the AvaTax REST v2 API with HTTP Basic
authentication, using the account ID as the username and the license key as the
password. Credentials are used only for read operations.
