This section shows how to use service-specific credentials to commit the data model you created or edited with NoSQL Workbench.

1. To create a new connection using service-specific credentials, choose the **Connect by using user name and password** tab. 

   1. Before you begin, you must create service-specific credentials using the process documented at [Create service-specific credentials for programmatic access to Amazon Keyspaces](programmatic.credentials.ssc.md).

   After you have obtained the service-specific credentials, you can continue to set up the connection. Continue with one of the following:
   + **User name** – Enter the user name.
   + **Password** – Enter the password.
   + **AWS Region** – For available Regions, see [Service endpoints for Amazon Keyspaces](programmatic.endpoints.md).
   + **Port** – Amazon Keyspaces uses port 9142. 

   Alternatively, you can import saved credentials from a file.

1. Choose **Commit** to update Amazon Keyspaces with the data model.
