# Auth: Others

These providers don’t fit the “media server” or “tracker” bucket. They usually add utility features, imports, or extra data sources.

CrossWatch (CW) treats them as helpers, not sync targets.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="End users" %}

### Available providers

* [Auth: Tautulli](/crosswatch/providers/authentication/auth-others/auth-tautulli.md)

### When to use these

* You need to import historical data (example: Plex history from Tautulli).
* You need an auxiliary service that CW can query, but not “sync” with.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Power users" %}

### Pattern: import → local tracker → sync out

For imports, the safest pattern is:

1. import into [Adapter: CrossWatch](/crosswatch/providers/synchronization/adapter-crosswatch.md)
2. validate results
3. sync from local tracker into other providers
   {% endtab %}
   {% endtabs %}
