Each Connector authenticates to Ivanti EPMM with an Authorized Admin Portal local user account. We recommend creating a user and assigning only the **Connector** role to authenticate the Connector to your Ivanti EPMM.

:::hint{type="info"}
If you are using multiple Connectors and/or auditing tools that require user names, assign one user account to each Connector rather than having one user account accessing all Connectors.
