If you do not have an API Key, click the regenerate option. Be mindful that regenerating the API Key may break any other integrations you have setup with N-able RMM in other applications.</p><p><br></p><p><img width="602" src="https://halo.haloservicedesk.com/api/attachment/image?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjBjN2ZkNTY2LTM4MGYtNDc5Ni05MThhLTBlZTM0YjgwMDM5YyJ9.zML-47ILVAnQp7tXC24EWe970oOO9epba8fMKUoiat4" class="fr-fic fr-fil fr-dib" height="388"></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Fig 1.

You must also ensure that takectrsxvp is associated with the viewer. Details on how to install the viewer and associate takectrsxvp with it can be found in this N-Able MSP <a href="https://documentation.solarwindsmsp.com/remote-management/helpcontents/take_control_qsg.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>documentation</strong></a>.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Configuring the Module</span></strong></p><p>To enable the N-able Take Control integration in Halo, go to Configuration &gt; Integrations, and enable the module. Once the module has been enabled, click the menu icon for the module to begin configuring it.</p><p><br></p><p>There are two initial options that must be completed. These are the N-Able RMM URL field and the API Key that was retrieved in the previous step. These values are shared with N-able &nbsp;RMM integration, so updating the fields here will also update them for the RMM integration and vice-versa.</p><p><br></p><p><img border="0" width="601" src="https://halo.haloservicedesk.com/api/attachment/image?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjUyNzhlNGFmLTVlOWYtNGQ3OS04ZWJiLThlNTIwOTRlZTYxYSJ9.0itEJ0Pjuf1yAbjVqdi85x3sEVEJuGWMlPc04qgJIGc" class="fr-fic fr-fil fr-dib" height="116"></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Fig 2.
