# Create a connection administrator

Create a connection admin who can create zero copy connections in Zero Copy Connector Hub.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **User Administration** > **Users**.

2.  Select an existing user.

3.  Update the user's role assignment by selecting **Edit** in the Roles related list.

4.  Add the df\_connection\_admin role.

5.  Select **Update**.


## Result

The user is now a connection admin in Zero Copy Connector Hub. As a connection admin, the user can perform the following tasks:

-   Browse available primary and community connectors on the **Available connectors** tab.
-   Select a connector and create a zero copy connection to an external data source.
-   Define who can access the connection and create data fabric tables by assigning the df\_data\_steward role to an existing role.
