# Odoo CRM connection guide

This guide contains all permissions and requirements for connecting your Odoo CRM 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/odoo-crm-connection-guide#connection-instructions).

## Required permissions

You will need an **API key** and your **database name** in order to connect to Odoo CRM.

### How to create an API key

1. Log in to your [Odoo account](https://www.odoo.com/my/databases).
2. Select your database and the **CRM** module.
3. In the top-right corner, click on your user profile picture and select **Preferences**.
4. Select the **Security** tab.
5. In the **API Keys** section, click **Add API key**.
6. Enter your password to confirm your identity.
7. Give a name to your key (for example, “Supermetrics”) and define how long the key will be valid. If the key expires, you will need to create a new one.
8. Click on **Generate key**.
9. The API key will now be shown once; copy it to a secure location for later use.

Full instructions to create an API key are available in [Odoo’s documentation](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/master/developer/reference/external_rpc_api.html#api-keys).
