# Setting Up Advertiser Connections

> How to connect with advertisers in the Clean Room

## Overview

This guide walks publishers through setting up a new advertiser connection in the Clean Room. Connections allow you to share your supply-side data with advertisers for audience matching and targeting.

<Note>
  **This guide uses your supply-side dashboard.** All steps in this guide are completed in your supply-side workspace at dashboard.permutive.com.
</Note>

### Understanding Connection Targets

The Organization ID you enter depends on your workflow:

| Workflow             | Organization ID to Enter             | What This Does                                                                     |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Permutive-Driven** | Advertiser's Organization ID         | Connects to the advertiser's demand-side workspace where they create audiences     |
| **Publisher-Driven** | Your own demand-side Organization ID | Connects your supply-side to your demand-side workspace where you create audiences |

<Info>
  In the **publisher-driven workflow**, you're essentially connecting your two workspaces together. Your demand-side Organization ID can be found in your Clean Room dashboard under Settings.
</Info>

<Info>
  **Prerequisites:**

  * Clean Room enabled for your organization
  * For Permutive-driven: Advertiser's Organization ID (they can find this in their Permutive Settings)
  * For Publisher-driven: Your own demand-side Organization ID (found in your Clean Room dashboard Settings)

    Choose the permissions you want to grant:

    * **Standard Cohorts**: Allow targeting of pre-built standardized segments
    * **Matched Cohorts**: Allow targeting of users matched between your datasets
