My spreadsheet import tool in the Exchange can create OPC UA connections non-interactively, from a Perspective session. The only caveat is that certificates can only be auto-accepted if your IT is managing all of them under a single certificate authority. More info here: > [@Spreadsheet Import Tool](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/spreadsheet-import-tool/93500): > > Now [in the Ignition Exchange](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/2660/overview). While waiting on IA review, i Interested parties can also get this here: [https://www.automation-pros.com/SpreadsheetImportTool/](https://www.automation-pros.com/SpreadsheetImportTool/) I intend to publish at this link as well as in the Exchange going forward. Announcements will be in this topic. (: You will need to customize the tool's requirement for gateway admin authentication to fit your requirement. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/opc-ua-external-creation-tool/95020)._
