# Create a connection for a Service Graph Connector in SGC Central

Create a connection added for a Service Graph Connector within the SGC Central view of the Service Graph Workspace or CMDB Workspace.

## Before you begin

Role required: SGC-admin or admin

## Procedure

1.  Use one of the following methods to open SGC Central:

    -   Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Service Graph Workspace**, and from the left navigation panel, select the Ingestion icon \[Omitted image "icon-sgc-central.png"\] to open the SGC Central view.
    -   Navigate to **Workspaces** > **CMDB Workspace** > **SGC Central**.
2.  On the Overview page, select **Create connection**.

    **Tip:** Alternatively, you can select **Create connection** on the All connections page.

3.  On the Create connection window, select a connector type and then follow the playbook instructions to create a connection.

    If the playbook experience isn't supported for a connector, follow the guided setup instructions.

    **Note:**

    -   When you select a connector type, the application scope changes to the selected type.
    -   When setting up a connection using a Service Graph Connector for the first time, you might need to complete the initial setup tasks. See [Perform initial setup tasks when creating a connection in SGC Central](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/sgcc-first-time-setup.md).
