1. For REST web services that require SSL authentication, you or a Business Analytics administrator must configure Business Analytics for SSL and digital certificates before you register the service.
2. Select Connect > REST Web Service in the Business Analytics Hub main menu.
3. Enter a unique Name for the web service.MashZone NextGenuses this name to assign a unique ID. For more information, see What are valid artifact names and IDs?.
4. Enter the full URL for this mashable and, if needed, set document properties for this web service. See REST Web Service URLs with Parameters, REST Web Services with Input Documents and Specify HTTP Request Headers for details.
5. Add metadata for this mashable, such as a description or category. For more information, see Descriptions, Providers, Categories and Tags for Artifacts external.
6. If this mashable information source requires authentication information when you run it, choose the Security Profile to use for authentication and complete the fields for this profile. See Mashable Authentication with Security Profiles for details.
7. Click Register.
Business Analytics validates the URL, registers the mashable and turns this mashable information source on (by default). Then, either:
*Grant permissions to run this mashable to other users and groups:
*Choose the mashble-wide Service >> mashable name permissions section to grant run permissions to all operations. Or expand a specific Operation >> operation name section to grant run permissions for just that operation.
*Find Users and Groups for Permissions or Choose Business Analytics Built-In Groups for Permissions.
*Click on a user or group in the Search result list to add them to the list of Principals with permissions.
*Save the permissions once the list is complete.
*Or skip permissions for now and click Finish.
To allow other users to work with this mashable, you must grant run permissions at a later time.
Note:  
Some groups or users may already be listed as Principals with permissions. These users and groups have been defined by a Business Analytics administrator to grant permission automatically.
You can open the artifact page for this new mashable to run the mashable, add views, take snapshots, create basic apps based on this mashable, edit the mashable, turn it off or grant permissions to other users to work with it.
