Create an OAuth connection

1. You need to create an OAuth connection. Follow the instructions in OAuth until you reach the Authentication Type field—at which point, you should return to this page.
2. Set the Authentication Type field to OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials.

3. Read the section below to acquire the following information you need to complete on this screen:

   • Client ID
   • Certificate ID
   • Private Key
   • Account ID
   • Role ID

4. Continue to follow the instructions in OAuth.

Acquire NetSuite SuiteAnalytics credentials

You need to create an app integration in NetSuite.

1. Follow the Oracle documentation here: Create Integration Records for Applications to Use OAuth 2.0.

   • Check the boxes for Client Credentials (Machine to Machine Grant) and SuiteAnalytics Connect. Ensure that all other boxes in the configuration are unchecked, even if checked by default.

2. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret displayed at the end of the prevous step. You won't have another opportunity to copy the secret. You will need the Client ID when creating the OAuth.

3. Create a user role and add the required OAuth access to that role, following the Oracle documentation here: Getting Started with OAuth 2.0.
4. Add the following permissions to your user: Log in Using OAuth 2.0 Access Tokens and OAuth 2.0 Authorized Applications Management.

5. Generate and upload a certification to NetSuite, following the Oracle documentation here: Creating a Mapping for the Client Credentials Flow.

   • From the example certificate generation commands given in that document, use the RSA - PSS command.
   • When you click Save in the certificate mapping dialog, note down the Certificate ID to use when creating the OAuth.

6. Use the private SSH key generated in the previous step as the Private Key when creating the OAuth.

7. On the home page of your NetSuite account, under the Settings module, click Set Up SuiteAnalytics Connect.

8. Use the following information, found under Your Configuration on this page, when creating the OAuth:

   • Account ID
   • Role ID
