# Connect RingCentral with Dummy Auth (Testing Only) – StackOne Hub

> Link a RingCentral account in the StackOne Hub using Dummy Auth (Testing Only). End-user guide to authorize the integration and start using RingCentral actions.

<Warning>This authentication method is for internal testing only — it does not validate credentials and cannot make real RingCentral API calls. Remove it before production release.</Warning>

  <h2>Connecting a Test Account</h2>

  <p>This method exists so a placeholder account can be connected for schema-review and testing-framework runs without live RingCentral credentials.</p>

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Enter a placeholder token">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>Enter any non-empty value as the Dummy Access Token.</p>

        <ul>
          <li>Example: `dummy-token`</li>
          <li>The value is never validated against RingCentral</li>
          <li>Requests made with this method will return 401 Unauthorized from the provider</li>
