# Authentication

The Conduit feature adds a layer of security when importing and exporting data by adding a security token and server-side validation when passing data requests. It is activated per user on a one-by-one basis.

When conduit is activated, the token allows the service to access all of the data that the user has access to, with the same level of authority and roles.

#### Activating Conduit

To activate it for one of your users (or yourself) log into the AlphaX system and follow the instructions below.

* Navigate to People->Users in the main Navigation Menu
* Select the user that Conduit should be enabled for.
* Toggle the “Enable Conduit” Switch.
* Click the Save button.
* The Conduit Token ID will be displayed for that user
