# Create a Table in the Data Store

Next, let's create a table in the Data Store. This table is used to store the Refresh Token and `userID` values, which are retrieved whenever an Access Token needs to be generated.

To create a table:

1. Navigate to **Catalyst Cloud Scale** service in the console and click **Data Store** under Storage.

2. Click **Create a new Table.**

3. Enter the table’s name as **“Token”** and click **Create**.

> **Note:** Ensure that you enter the name exactly as instructed, because the application's code contains the same name. 

The table will be created and displayed in the **Data Store** page.

Now, let’s create two columns in the table to store the **UserID** and the **Refresh Token** respectively.

1. Click **New Column** in the **Schema View** section of the Data Store table.

2. Enter the column's name as "**refresh\_token**". Select the data type as **Encrypted Text** and click **Create**.

You can learn about the various data types supported by Catalyst and the other properties of a column from the [Data Store help page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/introduction).

> **Note:** Ensure that you enter the name exactly as instructed, because the application's code contains the same name.

3. Create another column using the previous steps with the column name as "**userId**" of the data type "**BigInt**". You need not provide any other values.

The columns will be created and listed in the Schema View section.

#### Configure Scopes and Permissions

To allow any user of the Lead Manager application to view or manage leads from the client application, you must enable an additional [table permission](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/scopes-and-permissions) that will allow the user to fetch and store new Refresh Tokens, if needed.

Click the **Scopes and Permissions** tab for the **Token** table, then check the **Insert** permission for the **App User** role under **Table Permissions** section. The **Select** permission will already be checked by default.

The Data Store is now configured for the application.
