## Prerequisites

* **Datadog Admin Role** access to your Datadog organization, so you can invite the integration account.

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add Datadog in AccessOwl">
    Either add a new application or open Applications and click the +-symbol, then continue.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite the integration account with the Datadog Admin Role">
    AccessOwl shows you the integration account's email address. In Datadog:

    * Go to **Organization Settings** and open the **Users** tab.
    * Click **Invite Users** (upper right).
    * Enter the integration account's email address.
    * Assign the **Datadog Admin Role**.
    * Send the invite.

    <Note>
      The integration account needs the Datadog Admin Role because only roles with the User Access Management permission can invite users and change their role. Users with the Invite User permission can only invite a user to roles they themselves hold, so the integration account must have the Datadog Admin Role to provision users at any role level.
