# Enable ksqlDB Integration with Schema Registry on Confluent Cloud If you want to use schemas in your ksqlDB queries, ensure that Schema Registry is enabled in your environment. In the navigation menu, if Schema Registry is unavailable, enable it by following the steps in [Quick Start for Schema Management on Confluent Cloud](../get-started/schema-registry.md#cloud-sr-config). When you create a ksqlDB cluster in the ksqlDB **New cluster** page, if you see an alert that reads, “IMPORTANT: Confirm that the user or service account has the required privileges to access Schema Registry,” follow these steps to configure your ksqlDB cluster to access Schema Registry. 1. In the Confluent Cloud Console, click the Administration menu in the upper-right corner: 2. In the Administration menu, click **Accounts & access**. 3. In the **Accounts & access** page, select **User accounts** or **Service accounts**. #### NOTE - To enable your ksqlDB cluster to access all the resources that you have permissions to access, select **User accounts** and click your account name. - To enable fine-grained control over access to specific resources, select **Service accounts** and click an existing service account or create a new one. 4. Click **Access**, and in the **Access** page, navigate to the **Organization > Environment** where you want to create your ksqlDB cluster. 5. Click **Schema Registry**, and in the **Schema subject permissions** section click **Add role assignment**. 6. In the **New schema subject permissions** section, click **All schema subjects** to grant access for your ksqlDB cluster. 7. Click the **Account** dropdown and select your account or the service account that’s associated with your ksqlDB cluster. 8. In the **Role** section, select **ResourceOwner**, which gives your ksqlDB full access for creating and reading schemas. 9. Click **Save**.
