• Key Concepts: 
  Credential category is a feature of the ICM-CRD Credentialing (CRD) component of SAP. It is used to define the type of credentials that can be used to access the system. Credential categories are used to control access to certain areas of the system, such as user accounts, roles, and other resources. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use credential categories, administrators must first create a credential category in the CRD component. This can be done by selecting the “Create Credential Category” option from the CRD menu. Once a credential category has been created, administrators can assign users to it and set up access rules for each category. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a credential category, it is important to consider the security implications of each category. For example, if a user is assigned to a category with high security settings, they may not be able to access certain areas of the system. It is also important to ensure that users are assigned to the appropriate categories in order to ensure that they have the correct level of access.
