# Redis Connection

> Learn how to configure a Redis Connection for Infisical.

Infisical supports the use of Username & Password authentication to connect with Redis databases

## Configure a Redis user for Infisical

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Redis user">
    Infisical recommends creating a designated user in your Redis database for your connection.

    ```bash theme={"dark"}
    ACL SETUSER user_manager on >[ENTER-YOUR-USER-PASSWORD]
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Grant Relevant Permissions">
    Depending on how you intend to use your Redis connection, you'll need to grant one or more of the following permissions.

    <Tip>
      To learn more about Redis's permission system, please visit their [documentation](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/management/security/acl/).

      <Tab title="Secret Rotation">
        For Secret Rotations, your Infisical user will require the ability to set and delete users:

        ```bash theme={"dark"}
        ACL SETUSER user_manager +acl|setuser +acl|deluser ~*
        ```
      </Tab>
