# Vendor Connections

## Auto-Discovered Third-Party Vendor Inventory

**Vendor Connections** is a read-only inventory of third-party SaaS vendors Heeler has identified in your cloud accounts — typically through cross-account IAM trust relationships (e.g., a Datadog AWS account ID present in your trust policies). This is *not* a connection you create; it's a discovery surface.

### Where to find it

Administration → **Connections** → **Vendor Connections** in the left sidebar.

URL: `https://app.heeler.com/administration/connections/vendor_connections`

### What it's for

Use Vendor Connections to:

* Inventory which third-party SaaS providers have access into your cloud environment.
* See the **Resource Count** each vendor is touching.
* Spot vendors you no longer use that still have access.

### Reference

#### Table columns

| Column                     | Description                                                                                              |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Connection Information** | Vendor name + the account identifier the vendor uses to access your environment.                         |
| **Connection Type**        | Type of connection — typically "AWS Account" (for cross-account roles), but can include other providers. |
| **Resource Count**         | Number of resources Heeler observed the vendor touching.                                                 |

#### Actions

This list is read-only. There is no "Add" button — vendors are discovered automatically as Heeler observes them in your environment. To revoke a vendor's access, do so in your cloud provider's IAM console.
