#Configure Connections

To manage content in Box using AvePoint Opus, you need to create a connection group. A connection group is a container of connections. A connection connects AvePoint Opus to a Box account.

*Note: To begin with, make sure you have created an app in Box with the authentication method of Server Authentication (with JWT) or User Authentication (OAuth 2.0).

Refer to the following steps to create a connection group:

1. Click Configure connection to open the Configure connection page.

2. Under the Connection group tab, click Create.

3. Enter a connection group name and an optional description.

4. Click Add connection. Select the connections that you want to add to the current connection group and click Add connection.

5. Click Save to create the connection group.

Refer to the following steps to create a connection:

1. Click Configure connection to open the Configure connection page.

2. Under the Connection tab, click Create.

3. Enter a connection name and an optional description.

4. Select an authentication method to complete the Box information:

   • User – If you select user authentication, complete the Enterprise ID, Client ID, and Client secret of the app that you have created in Box, and enter the email address of the Box account.

     When trying to connect to the Box account, a login window will appear where you need to enter the credentials and grant access to the Box data.

   • Server – If you select server authentication, browse the JSON file you have generated from the app you have created in Box.

5. Click Save to create the connection.
