# Setting up data connections

Once in Biuwer, a user from your Organization with permissions to use the **Data Center** and manage connections, datasets and data models, must access it and is presented with Connections that your Organization has configured so far.

As can be seen, we do not have a connection to the database containing the film rental information and must **create a connection** to access this data from Biuwer. To do this, either access directly the "**Catalog of connections**" available in the left hand menu or click on the "**Add**" button available in the upper right hand corner of the "My connections" list.

Already in the "Connection Catalog" we **choose the type of technology** in which the data we want to use is stored. Use **the search engine or the category selector** at the top to filter connections and quicker locate the one you are interested in.

Once you test the connection by pressing the "**Test Connection**" button, you can save it and it will appear in the list of connections in the Data Center:
