# Registering a Connection

Connections allow you to register your data objects in a technology through a single connection, making data registration more scalable for your organization. Instead of registering schema and databases individually, you can register them all at once and allow Immuta to monitor your data platform for changes so that data sources are added and removed automatically to reflect the state of data on your data platform.

## How-to guides

* Manage a connection:
  * [Manage connection settings](https://documentation.immuta.com/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-a-connection/how-to-guides/manage-connection-settings): Change the object sync settings and manage user permissions for the connection.
  * [Deregister a connection](https://documentation.immuta.com/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-a-connection/how-to-guides/deregister-a-connection): Delete a connection to disconnect it and all of its child objects from Immuta.
  * [Run object sync on a connection or object](https://documentation.immuta.com/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-a-connection/how-to-guides/crawl-a-connection): Trigger object sync manually for the entire connection or a single object to sync your remote data platform objects with Immuta.
* [Use the connection upgrade manager](https://documentation.immuta.com/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/registering-a-connection/how-to-guides/use-the-connection-upgrade-manager): Complete the upgrade path from the existing integrations and data sources to a connection.
