<desc>Allow applications to access your accounts online for photos,
contacts, calendars, and more.</desc>

<title>Add an account</title>
<p>Adding an account will help link your online accounts with your GNOME
desktop. Thus, your email program, chat program and other related
applications will be set up for you.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Online Accounts</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click on <gui>Online Accounts</gui> to open the panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select an account from the list on the right.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select the type of account which you want to add.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>A small website window or dialog will open where you can enter your
online account credentials. For example, if you are setting up a Google
account, enter your Google username and password. Some providers allow
you to create a new account from the login dialog.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>If you have entered your credentials correctly, you will be prompted
to allow GNOME access to your online account. Authorize access to
continue.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>All services that are offered by an account provider will be enabled
by default. <link xref="accounts-disable-service">Switch</link>
individual services to <gui>OFF</gui> to disable them.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>After you have added accounts, applications can use those accounts for
the services you have chosen to allow. See <link xref="accounts-disable-service"/>
for information on controlling which services to allow.</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>Many online services provide an authorization token which GNOME stores
instead of your password. If you remove an account, you should also revoke
that certificate in the online service. See <link xref="accounts-remove"/>
for more information.</p>
