# Tailscale

This guide describes how to connect P0 to your Tailscale network to enable just-in-time SSH access governed by your Tailscale policy file.

### Before you begin

* You must have an active Tailscale account.
* You must have an Tailscale API key. API keys can be generated from the [Keys](https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings/keys) page of the admin console provided you have either an **Owner**, **Admin**, or **Network admin** role.
* P0 manages access by dynamically inserting temporary grants into your Tailscale policy file. Ensure you are comfortable with an automated service managing these grants.
* Installed the [P0 CLI package](https://github.com/p0-security/p0cli) if you are making requests through PO CLI.

### Setting up Tailscale

The installation process involves generating an API key in Tailscale and providing it to P0.

1. Navigate to the **Integrations** page on [p0.app](https://p0.app), under **Resources** click **Tailscale**.
