# Providers

Providers represent the access you provide to your IT systems - including cloud accounts, Kubernetes namespaces, Git repositories, incident management tools, and other services. After adding Providers, you can supply credentials and create Scopes that define what resources can be accessed. These permissions are then inherited by Workspaces when they are granted access to the right scopes.

## Adding Providers and Defining Scopes

1. Navigate to **Providers** and select the tab for the Provider type you are trying to add, e.g., **Cloud**, **Kubernetes**, etc. The available Provider types are listed in the table below. To add a Provider type that is not listed, contact your DuploCloud Support team on Slack or via email at <support@duplocloud.com>.
