[ThoughtSpot](https://www.thoughtspot.com/) is a search and AI-driven analytics platform. Connecting ThoughtSpot to Paradime extracts your ThoughtSpot metadata so your assets appear in the catalog and lineage next to the dbt™ models that feed them.

## Step 1: Create a dedicated ThoughtSpot user for Paradime

<Info>
  We recommend creating a new ThoughtSpot user, to grant the correct access required to connect all your ThoughtSpot nodes to your dbt data models in Paradime.
</Info>

#### Create a ThoughtSpot user

[https://docs.thoughtspot.com/software/6.2/add-user](https://docs.thoughtspot.com/software/6.2/add-user)

1. Log in to your ThoughtSpot instance.
2. Navigate to the admin console, click on **Admin** in the top header.
3. In the left panel, under *User Management* click on **Users** and then select **Add User**.
4. In the *Add a new user* dialog, enter the following details:
   * For *Username*, enter a username for the new user.
   * For *Display name*, add a meaningful name for the new user, for example, `Paradime`. For *Sharing visibility*, keep the default selection, **SHAREABLE**.
   * For *New password*, enter a password for the new user and confirm it in the next step.
   * For *Email*, enter an email address for the new user.
   * Click **Add** to add the new user.

The new user will be assigned `Can upload user data` and `Can download data` [permissions](https://docs.thoughtspot.com/software/latest/groups-privileges#privileges-and-groups) by default.

## Catalog & Lineage

Bring ThoughtSpot assets into Paradime's [data catalog and column-level lineage](/products/data-catalog/asset-details/thoughtspot), so you can trace dbt™ models through to the answers and Liveboards built on them.

The ThoughtSpot integration is set up by the **Admin user** for your organization profile. In Paradime, go to **Settings → Integrations** (see [connecting integrations](/integrations/connecting-integrations)), find **ThoughtSpot**, and click **Connect**.

### Step 2: Connection parameters

| Field         | Required | Description                                      |
| ------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Host Name** | ✅        | Your ThoughtSpot instance URL                    |
| **Username**  | ✅        | The username of the ThoughtSpot user you created |
| **Password**  | ✅        | The password for that ThoughtSpot user           |

Click on Test Connection to validate that Paradime can connect to your ThoughtSpot account.
