# How to add credentials

This document provides information on how to add credentials in **Cloud IAM**. Credentials are the access keys that give access to the account services at the Cloud provider.

## Add a credential

To add a credential in **Cloud IAM**, see the following steps:

1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Cloud IAM**.
2. In the side menu, select **Identity management > Credentials**.
3. In the top right corner, click **Add**.
4. In the **Provider*** field, select the provider where the credential should be created.
5. In the **Account*** field, select the provider where the account should be created.
6. In the **User/Service account*** field, select the user or service account where the credential should be created on.
7. In the **TTL (seconds)** field, enter the lifetime of the service account. If the value is zero, the service account won't expire.
8. In the **Environment** field, select the environment related to the credential.
9. In the **System** field, select the system related to the credential.
10. In the **Description** field, enter a description.
11. In the **Tags** field, enter tags to help identifying the service account.
12. Click **Save**.

## View a credential

To view a credential in **Cloud IAM**, see the following steps:

1. In the [Credentials](/v4-2/docs/cloud-iam-credentials) report, find the credential and click **Actions > Details**.
2. To view the secret access key, click the eye icon to view the secret.

          Attention

          

Only credentials generated by Segura™ will have their password stored. Those generated directly by the provider can only be viewed once.
