Create trusted credentials

You can create trusted credentials when you want to authorize other users to use your credentials when those users do not have sufficient access permissions to perform specific tasks.

Before you begin

For users to use trusted credentials, traverse permissions must be granted for the namespace.

  2. On the Personal tab, under Credentials, if you have not created credentials before, click Create the Credentials.
  3. Select the users, groups, or roles you want to authorize to use your credentials.

    If you are prompted for your credentials, provide your user ID and password.

  5. If you want to remove an entry from the list, select the check box next to it and click Remove.
