How to Edit “Shared Credentials” in Folder Selection in ControlUp Real-Time DX

Posted on February 3, 2023

A user asked why they cannot edit the "Shared Credentials" security option on a folder selection. They are not the Roles manager, and another user could edit it. The other user mentioned Agents don’t use shared credentials, and typically you don’t allow the shared creds globally. There is worry for giving EUC team rights to the servers and VDI workstations in the same hypervisor cluster, and the suggestion was giving read-only permission in the console only without granting the "Run Host Actions".


Read the entire ‘Cannot Edit "Shared Credentials" Security Option in Folder Selection’ thread below:

anyone know why i cant edit the “Shared Credentials” security option?


are you the Roles manager?


thats a dancy question. i can modify most other security settings


i am able to edit that security option


Do you have an extension selected or a folder? You can’t set those on folders.


yes I have a folder selected.



SO i have to do it at the root? for this permission? i guess that does make sense


Agents don’t use shared credentials. Its not relevant.

And typically you just allow the shared creds globally and then allow or disallow the individual extensions, not the creds.


well crap. our VDI and server environment are in the same hypervisor cluster so theres no way to seperate that.

i dont want to give the EUC team rights for servers, just VDI workstations.

but they share the same hypervisor


Whats the worry? You can give read-only permissions in the console.

Just don’t grant the “Run Host Actions”.


ah i gotcha. thanks man!
