# Google Ad Manager connection guide

This guide contains all permissions and requirements for connecting your Google Ad Manager data to Supermetrics.

You can connect to data sources from the [Data sources page on the Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/token-management). On the Hub, you can also [share an authentication link](https://docs.supermetrics.com/v1/docs/how-to-connect-to-data-sources-from-supermetrics-hub#share-authentication-link) to connect to a data source you don't have direct access to.

After you connect to the data source on the Hub, you can use the data source connection in [all available destinations](/docs/google-ad-manager-connection-guide#connection-instructions).

## Required permissions

You'll need a Google Ad Manager account with at least the **Trafficker** role. API access must be explicitly enabled by the Administrator.

Learn about [role permissions](https://support.google.com/admanager/table/7535391) and [how to manage user roles](https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/7169102?hl=en&ref_topic=7169091), and [how to enable API access](https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/3088588?hl=en).

## Connection instructions

When connecting to Google Ad Manager, you need to log in to Google and select the account to use when prompted.

1. Select the Google Ad Manager data source [on the Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/token-management) or in the data destination.
2. If prompted, choose to make this connection [shared or private](/v1/docs/about-shared-and-private-connections).
3. Click **Sign in with Google**.
4. Sign in with the Google Account you use with this data source. This doesn't have to be the same as the Google Account you use with Supermetrics.
5. Click **Allow**, and click **Continue**.
6. Select all access scopes and click **Allow**. Failure to select all may result in the data source not functioning correctly.
7. In your data destination, select the accounts to pull data from.
