# 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 [Instance roles](/administer/manage-users-and-access/understand-instance-roles.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.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Sharing end-user credentials**

Sharing an [end-user credential](/administer/manage-credentials/end-user-credentials.md) shares the credential itself, not a connection. Users you share it with connect their own account, they don't use yours.

[^1]: n8n projects allow you to separate workflows, variables, and credentials into separate groups for easier management. Projects make it easier for teams to collaborate by sharing and compartmentalizing related resources.
