# Setup

> To successfully establish a connection and send requests to the SAP SuccessFactors API, the [SuccessFactors Scope](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/successfactors-scope) activity must complete authentication using the supported [OData API authentication](https://help.sap.com/viewer/f0a201cdb56d44e9823a3db3539a5d4f/Cloud/en-US/c6174a84455243df86edff3f3f99aad5.html#loiod778f11fcbd348f681fd7a472aafe17f) using basic or OAuth 2.0 flows.

To successfully establish a connection and send requests to the SAP SuccessFactors API, the [SuccessFactors Scope](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/successfactors-scope) activity must complete authentication using the supported [OData API authentication](https://help.sap.com/viewer/f0a201cdb56d44e9823a3db3539a5d4f/Cloud/en-US/c6174a84455243df86edff3f3f99aad5.html#loiod778f11fcbd348f681fd7a472aafe17f) using basic or OAuth 2.0 flows.

To give the **SuccessFactors Scope** activity the ability to authenticate and to enable the other activities to successfully send requests to SAP SuccessFactors API, you must complete the following steps:

After establishing a connection, a parent SuccessFactors Scope activity can output a record of the connection in a SuccessFactors Connection object (**SuccessFactors Connection**) that you can use in subsequent child scope activities.

1. Create an Integration Key.
2. Build your project.

1. An application and to obtain a (**Client ID**) and (**Client Secret**) and use these values instead of authenticating with OAuth.
2. HTTP Basic Authentication using a (**Username**) and (**Password**).
