### Clone a provisioned data source for Grafana Cloud
If you have a data source that is provisioned by a configuration file in Grafana Cloud, you can clone that provisioned data source and then edit the new data source in the Grafana UI.
For example, let's say you want to edit the **Trace to log**s settings in your Tempo data source that is provisioned on Grafana Cloud.
You'd like to enable traceID and spanID but you can't because the data source is provisioned.
By cloning the data source, you'd be able to edit these capabilities.
To clone a provisioned data source, follow these steps:
1. Create a viewer [Cloud Access Policy token](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/security-and-account-management/authentication-and-permissions/access-policies/) in the Grafana Cloud Portal, making sure it has read permissions at least for the data types you are trying to clone.
1. [Create a new data source](#add-a-new-data-source) of the same type you want to clone.
1. Copy all of the settings from the existing provisioned data source into the new data source while replacing the password with the API key you created.
The easiest way to do this is to open separate browser windows with the provisioned data source in one and the newly created data source in another.
Of course, after copying the HTTP and Auth section details, pasting the Cloud Access Policy token into the Password field, and changing any of the other options that you want, you can save and test the data source.
