It will take a few minutes to launch your cluster.&#x20;

## Create Cluster Access

When your cluster is ready, add client access credentials so you can access it. Select "All Buckets", "All Scopes", "Read/Write".&#x20;

Now, you need to open your cluster for access from your IP.&#x20;

The easiest option is to click "Allow Access from Anywhere", which can be ok for development purposes. For proper security you would select a restricted set of IP addresses.&#x20;

Type "confirm" and click "Allow Access from Anywhere".&#x20;

You then also need to click "Add Allowed IP".&#x20;

You have now created a cluster, created a bucket called main and configured the access to the server so it is ready to use.
