Add and edit credentials

Learn how to add and edit credentials for users in your organization via the web app to keep workforce qualifications accurate and up to date.

What are credentials?

Credentials are the workforce qualifications your team needs to track and renew. These include certifications and external licenses, such as driver's licenses, first aid certificates, and high-risk work licenses. As an admin, you can organize credentials by type, manage qualifications across your workforce, approve or reject submissions, and configure credential settings in your organization. Users can also submit and update their own credentials directly.

Each credential captures an issue date, expiration date, approval status, and version history. Use this to monitor renewals and confirm users meet role requirements before starting work. You can upload credentials in bulk via CSV or download credentials for reporting. This gives you full visibility of qualifications across the workforce and connects to onboarding workflows to support compliance.

View the Credentials page with credential types and an overview of pending, expired, expiring, and total credentials.

Users can customize their notification settings to be notified when their credential is about to expire.

Please note that you need to have "Platform management: Users" permission to manage another user's credentials from the list of users in your organization.
