# Configuring Data Sources for One Report on Command Center

You can configure remote CommServe computers and third-party databases as data sources for a single report using the Command Center. You can set the data sources for a particular report that you created or a report that you downloaded from the Commvault Store.

## Before You Begin

- To add a data source, your CommCell user account requires a role with the Add Datasource permission and an association with the CommCell entity.

  The Delete Datasource, Edit Datasource, and Query Datasource permissions are automatically assigned when you add a data source.

  For more information on users, permissions, and associations, see User Administration and Security - Overview.

- If the Private Metrics Reporting Server cannot connect to the CommServe computer, or if you have a firewall between the remote CommServe computer and the Private Metrics Reporting Server, then you must establish a connection using the CommCell Console. For instructions, see Configuring CommServes as Data Sources on CommCell Console.
