# Simplesat connection guide

This guide contains all permissions and requirements for connecting your Simplesat 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](/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](/v1/docs/simplesat-connection-guide#connection-instructions).

## Required permissions

To connect Supermetrics to Simplesat, you need:

- Your account/API key, which you can find on the [Account settings page](https://app.simplesat.io/settings/account/) in your Simplesat account. Read [Simplesat's documentation](https://help.simplesat.io/en/articles/4020334-where-can-i-find-my-api-key) to learn how to find your account/API key.

5. Click **Start**.
