# Connect a SaaS application

To detect posture risks, applications must first be connected to Cortex SaaS Security and have the necessary permissions to scan SaaS application settings. During data connection, Cortex SaaS Security prompts you for the configuration information required to establish a connection with the SaaS app. The configuration information that SaaS Security requires differs from app to app, and you might need to collect configuration information prior to onboarding.

When you connect an application you may also be prompted to provide required for application connection, such as administrator credentials for a service account. The required information varies, and in many cases you must first take some actions on the SaaS app, such as creating an API key.

The following table provides links to detailed connection instructions for most applications. Where detailed instructions are not available for a particular SaaS application, the table includes the relevant onboarding steps.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam/cloud-security/cortex-cloud-saas-security/connect-a-saas-application.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
