# Personal Credential

Whether the user can use their credentials to authenticate to remote devices when starting a session, these devices, or users, must be configured appropriately and segregated with permission to use a personal credential.

In these cases, the Segura™ user can access the device by providing their username, which isn’t registered with Segura™, to the device managed by Segura™.

The proxy system will ask for the password for this personal credential to start the session. This password won’t be stored by Segura™.

**Info**

For the command audit to be valid for personal credentials, the commands must be registered as **global** or by the **device** since the audit occurs through these channels and not through credentials.

## Access policy requirement

To open a session with a personal credential through the proxy, the user needs session permission on the device through an access policy. Without this permission, Segura™ refuses the session and the proxy shows one of these messages:

| Proxy | Message |
| --- | --- |
| Terminal proxy | No access to device. |
| RDP proxy | Access denied to credential. |

Segura™ records each refused session in [Session events](/v4-2/docs/pam-session-session-events).
