Create a Cloud Account Credential

For LiveRamp to be able to access your data at your cloud provider, you’ll need to create a credential within LiveRamp Clean Room for that cloud account. This often involves entering a credential or token you generate from your cloud provider.

Note

  • These are general instructions for adding credentials. For instructions that are specific to your data connection type (which depends on your cloud type and other factors), as well as information on any prerequisites, see the articles in "Connect to Cloud-Based Data".

  • If LiveRamp Clean Room hosts your file drop location, you can generate credentials within the LiveRamp Clean Room UI by selecting Clean Room → Data Source Locations from the LiveRamp Clean Room navigation menu.

To create a cloud account credential in LiveRamp Clean Room:

  1. Make sure that you've performed any necessary prerequisites for your cloud and connection type.

  2. From the navigation menu, select Clean Room → Credentials to open the Organization Credentials page.

  5. Select the appropriate credentials type, depending on the data connection type.

    Note

    For information on the credentials type to select, and the fields to configure, see the data connection articles in the "Connect to Cloud-Based Data" and "Connect to Walled Garden Data" sections.

  6. Enter the necessary configuration information that is specific to your data connection type (which depends on your cloud type and other factors).

  7. If needed, adjust the selection for whether your organization cloud security policy requires an allowlist for IP addresses and Google Project IDs for this credential (this is not common).

    Note

    • Allowlists only need to be utilized for credentials used in Hybrid and Confidential Computing clean rooms where the processing of question runs might need to be load balanced across different data planes. You do not need to require an allowlist for other clean room types.

    • For more information on credential allowlists, see "Create and Manage Credential Allowlists".

    • If your organization requires an allowlist, we recommend that you talk to your LiveRamp representative before creating the credential.

  8. Click Save Credential.

The credential is created and appears on the Credentials page. The allowlist status varies depending on whether you specified that an allowlist is required:

  • If no allowlist is required, the allowlist status will be "Not Required" and the credential is ready to use when creating data connections.

  • If an allowlist is required, the allowlist status will be "Not Created" and you will need to create an allowlist by following the instructions in "Create and Manage Credential Allowlists".
