# Creating an ID namespace target (provider services method)
<a name="create-id-namespace-target-provider-services"></a>

This topic describes the process of creating an ID namespace target using the **Provider services** method. This method uses a provider service called LiveRamp. LiveRamp translates third-party encoded data from a source to a target during an ID mapping workflow.

**To create an ID namespace target (provider services)**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Entity Resolution console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/entityresolution/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/entityresolution/).

1. In the left navigation pane, under **Data preparation**, choose **ID namespaces**.

1. On the **ID namespaces** page, in the upper right corner, choose **Create ID namespace**.

1. For **Details**, do the following:

   1. For **ID namespace name**, enter a unique name.

   1. (Optional) For **Description**, enter an optional description.

   1. For **ID namespace type**, choose **Target**.

1. For **ID namespace method**, choose **Provider services**.
**Note**  
AWS Entity Resolution currently offers the LiveRamp provider service as an ID namespace method.  
If you have a subscription to LiveRamp, then the status appears as **Subscribed**.  
For more information about how to subscribe to LiveRamp, see [Step 1: Subscribe to a provider service on AWS Data Exchange](prepare-third-party-input-data.md#subscribe-provider-service).

1. For **Target domain**, enter the LiveRamp client domain identifier targeted for transcoding that LiveRamp provides.

1. (Optional) To enable **Tags** for the resource, choose **Add new tag**, and then enter the **Key** and **Value** pair.

1. Choose **Create ID namespace**.

The ID namespace target is created. After you create the ID namespaces (source and target) required for an ID mapping workflow, you're ready to [Create the ID mapping workflow](create-id-mapping-workflow.md).
