## Which data sources are available to me?

The availability of data sources in Data manager depends on a number of factors:

* Space permissions

  To connect to a data source, you need to have access to the space in which it is located. See:

  * [Managing permissions in shared spaces](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Spaces/managing-shared-spaces.htm)

  * [Managing permissions in managed spaces](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Spaces/managing-managed-spaces.htm)

* Data manager limitations

  Not all connectors support connections in Data manager, and the tables available may vary from the tables available in the Data load editor and Script. See the specific connector page for details:
