Capabilities
The connector syncs the users in a dbt Cloud account as identities. Each user
carries their account status and license type, so you can see who holds a paid
developer seat versus read-only access. It also syncs the account’s groups
(permission sets) and who belongs to each one, so group membership is visible
and reviewable in C1.
Gather dbt Cloud credentials
1
Sign in to dbt Cloud as an account administrator.
2
Open Account Settings > Service Tokens and create a token. Give it
the Account Viewer permission set so it can read the account’s users and
groups. Copy the token — you will use it to configure the connector.
3
Find your account ID: it is the number after
/accounts/ in your dbt
Cloud URL (for example, 12345 in
https://cloud.getdbt.com/api/v3/accounts/12345/). You will enter it
alongside the token.4
If your account is hosted on a regional instance (for example
https://emea.dbt.com or https://au.dbt.com) or a single-tenant
deployment, note that host — you will enter it as the optional base URL.
Otherwise leave the base URL blank to use the default dbt Cloud host.Configure the dbt Cloud connector
