4. Click **Save**.

## Adding or revoking credentials

You can add or revoke credentials for existing connections.

### Steps

     | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
     |   | After you leave this screen, you can't go back and copy the credential, so ensure that you copy it now. If you aren't going to complete the configuration now, you can paste the credential to a text file. |

## Adding roles and responsibilities

You can add roles and responsibilities to existing connections. By default, the connection applies to the current environment. You can also add or remove environments from the connection.

### Steps

1. Click the appropriate connection to open the details panel.

2. Click the **Roles** tab.

3. Do one of the following:

   * To remove a role, click the **Delete** icon next to the appropriate role. In the confirmation message, click **Remove**.

   * To add a role, click the **Grant Roles** button. Select a role to grant. Learn more in [Administrator Roles](../directory/p1_roles.html). Add or remove responsibilities as needed. Responsibilities define the environments or organization that the connection can access. Click **Save**.
