Managing your credentials

If you own an entry, you can authorize trusted users to use your credentials when those users lack sufficient access permissions to perform specific tasks. In your personal, advanced preferences, you can view, add to, or delete from the list of groups, users, and roles that are authorized to use your credentials.
