# Introduction

This section explains how to set up GitHub and SonarQube Community Build for their integration at the global level. You need the global Administer System permission in SonarQube Community Build to perform this setup.

This setup consists of:

* [server-base-url](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/instance-administration/server-base-url "mention")\
  You must configure your SonarQube Community Build base URL in SonarQube Community Build, otherwise, integration features will not work correctly.
* [setting-up-github-app](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/devops-platform-integration/github-integration/setting-up-at-global-level/setting-up-github-app "mention")\
  You need to use a GitHub App to connect SonarQube Community Buildwith a GitHub instance.
* Setting up user provisioning and authentication, see [github](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/instance-administration/authentication/github "mention") for more details.
* [setting-parameters-for-github-actions](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/devops-platform-integration/github-integration/setting-up-at-global-level/setting-parameters-for-github-actions "mention")\
  You can define at the global level the parameters used in GitHub Actions workflows to connect to SonarQube (Server URL and token).
