# Configure OAuth

You can configure OAuth to use Email SMTP instead of a username and password. This service-to-service flow provides a secure connection for your email notifications without the manual steps required by the [SMTP classic authorization](/data-quality-self-hosted/admin-configuration/admin-console/alerts/alert-configuration/configure-smtp.md). Currently, Microsoft Graph API is the only supported OAuth email provider.

## Prerequisites

* Assigned the following API permissions in the Azure Portal: Mail.Send, User.Read.All, and Mail.ReadWrite.
* Noted the **Object ID** of the Azure user account that will send the emails.
* Configured the [Microsoft Graph API user authentication](/data-quality-self-hosted/admin-configuration/admin-console/user-management/oauth2-provider-configuration/configuring-microsoft-graph-api-user-authentication.md).

## What's next

You can now [create a data quality rule](/data-quality-self-hosted/core-concepts/dq-rules/rule-builder/working-with-the-rule-workbench/create-a-data-quality-rule.md) and assign an alert to receive notifications via your new OAuth connection.
