To edit a credential in a scan:

   A table of credentials configured for the scan appears.

3. In the credentials table, click the credential you want to edit.

   The credential settings plane appears.

   • For scan-specific credentials, configure the settings for the credential.
   • For managed credentials:
     1. Edit the name or description.
     2. Configure the credential settings.
     3. Configure user permissions for the managed credential.

   • Note: You can only view or edit settings for managed credentials where you have Can Edit permissions.

   If you edited a managed credential, Tenable Vulnerability Management determines whether any other scans use the managed credential and prompts you to confirm the changes.
