# Configuring Facebook Ads

Before you can use AWS Glue to transfer data from Facebook Ads, you must meet these requirements:

## Minimum requirements

The following are minimum requirements:
+ Facebook Standard accounts are accessed directly through Facebook.
+ User authentication is needed to generate the access token.
+ The Facebook Ads SDK connector will be implementing the *User Access Token OAuth* flow.
+ We are using OAuth2.0 to authenticate our API requests to Facebook Ads. This web-based authentication falls under the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) architecture, which is a superset of 2FA.
+ The user needs to grant permissions to access the end points. For accessing the user's data, endpoint authorization is handled through [permissions](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/permissions) and [features](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/features-reference).

## Getting OAuth 2.0 credentials
