## Setting up access for Satellite-enabled services
{: #managed-services-iam}

For most Satellite-enabled services, you must set up service-to-service access through Identity and Access Management (IAM), with **Satellite** as your target service and the managed service as the source service.

1. Open [Manage authorizations](https://cloud.ibm.com/iam/authorizations){: external} in the IBM Cloud console.
2. Click **Create**.
3. Select the account for the authorization.
4. For **Source service**, select the service that you want to authorize. You can further scope the access by selecting **Resources based on selected attributes** and then adding attributes.
5. For **Target service**, select `Satellite`. You can further scope the access by selecting **Resources based on selected attributes** and then adding attributes.
6. Select your options as the **Service access**.
7. Click **Authorize**.
