# CrowdStrike connector
The CrowdStrike connector communicates with CrowdStrike Management Console via REST API.
To use this connector, you must have authority to run Endpoint Security connectors, which is an **Actions and Connectors** sub-feature privilege. Refer to [Kibana privileges](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/tree/main/deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/kibana-privileges).

## Create connectors in Kibana

You can create connectors in **Stack Management > Connectors**. For example:
![CrowdStrike connector](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/kibana/pull/244843/reference/images/crowdstrike-connector.png)
