# Share credentials securely
{% hint style="info" %}
**Feature availability**
Available on all Cloud plans, and Business and Enterprise self-hosted plans.
{% endhint %}
You can share a credential directly with other users to use in their own workflows. Or share a credential in a project[^1] for all members of that project to use. Any users using a shared credential won't be able to view or edit the credential details.
Users can share credentials they created and own. Only project admins can share credentials created in and owned by a project. Instance owners and instance admins can view and share all credentials on an instance.
Refer to [Account types](/administer/manage-users-and-access/understand-account-types.md) for more information about owners and admins.
In [projects](/administer/manage-users-and-access/set-permissions-and-roles-rbac.md), a user's role controls how they can interact with the workflows and credentials associated to the projects they're a member of.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.n8n.io/administer/manage-credentials/share-credentials-securely.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
