The configured database connections can be used to log in to your application. To set up a connection, follow the steps below. Navigate to [Auth0 Dashboard > Authentication > Database](http://manage.auth0.com/#/connections/database), and select **Create DB Connection**. Dashboard - Authentication - Database - Database Connections List Enter a name for your connection, and select **Create**. Dashboard - Authentication - Database - New DB Connection Select the **Applications** view, enable the switch for each Auth0 application that should be able to use this connection. Dashboard - Connections - Database - Edit - View Applications To allow [third-party applications](/docs/get-started/applications/third-party-applications) to authenticate users via a database connection, the connection must be promoted to the domain level. To learn more, read [Promote Connections to Domain Level](/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/promote-connections-to-domain-level). ## Learn more * [Test Database Connections](/docs/get-started/applications/test-database-connections) * [Promote Connections to Domain Level](/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/promote-connections-to-domain-level)
