# Ethos Integration Settings
The **Ellucian Ethos Integration Settings** allow administrators to configure the connection between ProcessMaker and Ellucian Ethos. Admin access is required, and this setup must be completed before the API Monitor can begin monitoring configured Ethos APIs.
***
## Establish Connection to Ethos
Follow these steps to define the base configuration for your Ethos integration.
1. Login using the provided URL and Admin credentials.
2. In the **Workspace Name** setting, enter the name of your workspace. This is used internally to identify the integration environment.
3. In the **Ellucian Ethos Integration Base URL** setting, enter the URL for accessing Ellucian Ethos APIs.
4. In the **Ellucian Ethos Integration API Key** setting, enter the API key used to authenticate requests to the Ethos API. This should be generated from your Ellucian Ethos environment and kept secure.
5. From the **Time Zone** setting, select the appropriate time zone for your institution. This ensures that all scheduled checks and timestamped logs align with your local time.
6. Click **Save Setup** to save the changes.

13. Repeat these steps to add additional endpoints.
