C1 provides identity governance for dbt Cloud. Integrate your dbt Cloud account with C1 for unified visibility and governance over user access.

​
Capabilities

The connector syncs the users in a dbt Cloud account as identities. Each user carries their account status and license type, so you can see who holds a paid developer seat versus read-only access. It also syncs the account’s groups (permission sets) and who belongs to each one, so group membership is visible and reviewable in C1.

​
Gather dbt Cloud credentials

You need a dbt Cloud API token and your numeric account ID. The token grants access to your dbt Cloud account, so treat it as a secret. A service token with the Account Viewer permission set is recommended over a personal token.
1
Sign in to dbt Cloud as an account administrator.
2
Open Account Settings > Service Tokens and create a token. Give it the Account Viewer permission set so it can read the account’s users and groups. Copy the token — you will use it to configure the connector.
3
Find your account ID: it is the number after /accounts/ in your dbt Cloud URL (for example, 12345 in https://cloud.getdbt.com/api/v3/accounts/12345/). You will enter it alongside the token.
4
If your account is hosted on a regional instance (for example https://emea.dbt.com or https://au.dbt.com) or a single-tenant deployment, note that host — you will enter it as the optional base URL. Otherwise leave the base URL blank to use the default dbt Cloud host.

9
Click Save.
