    The following permissions are required to access Credentials API operations:


    * `Settings Tests Read` for read operations.

    * `Settings Tests Update` for write operations.

    * `View sensitive data in web transaction scripts` to view the encrypted value property of credentials.

    * `Settings Tests Create Transaction (Tx) Tests` to create credentials.


    For more information about credentials, see [Working With Secure Credentials](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/browser-synthetics/transaction-tests/getting-started/working-with-secure-credentials).
