## What to do next

If you haven't already, configure basic or OAuth 2.0 authentication to connect to a Git domain or repository. For more information, see [Connect to a Git provider using basic authentication](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/NBthqTQFYBHAQln5tgkSHw "Connect to a Git domain or repository using basic authentication credentials to manage applications in Fluent source control from ServiceNow Studio.") or [Connect to a Git provider using OAuth 2.0](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/EdcFteT1i4Ok~cMw7jO2Gw#fluent-sc-connect-to-git-provider-oauth-2-0 "Set up an OAuth 2.0 application registry and credentials to connect to your Git provider from ServiceNow Studio.").  
Note:  
The MID Server user must have the sn_glider.ide_git_user role or admin role to perform Git operations in ServiceNow Studio. For more information, see [Create the MID Server user and grant the role](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_SetupMIDServerRole&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US) and [ServiceNow IDE MID Server User \[sn_glider.ide_git_user\]](zwkm76iWqHl5lLRxWtZeXg#servicenow-ide-role-1 "Assign administrator privileges to a MID server user to manage applications in source control from the ServiceNow IDE.").
