Credential Profiles Security

The Security page is used to view or modify the security settings for this object. See the Security Editor topic for more information on editing security settings.

The security settings specified here are inherited by all Credential Profiles and therefore are the default settings for all Credential Profiles.

Automatic Permission Granting

When a user tries to use an existing Credential Profile (e.g., when configuring a job) but does not have "Use Credentials" permission for that profile, she will be prompted to enter the password associated with the profile. If she enters the correct password, she will automatically be granted "Use Credentials" permission for the profile.

Once this permission is assigned, the user can use the profile in the future without being prompted for the password, even if the password is subsequently changed.

Available Permissions

The following permissions apply to Credential Profiles:

Permission Description
Full Control Permission to perform all actions on the profile.
Use Credentials Permission to use the credentials on a job or other object. If a user has Use Credentials permission, she can use the profile without knowing the password for the account.
Modify Permission to modify the properties of the profile.
Delete Permission to delete the profile.
Administer security Permission to change the security settings for the profile.
Change owner Permission to take ownership of the profile.
