# Permissions to manage certificates

Root and Power administrators always have rights to manage certificates. Custom administrators don't have them by default. To grant permissions to manage certificates to Power administrators, the **Certificates** global permission type is used.

If you are a Root or Power administrator, you can set certificate permissions as follows:

1. In the RAS Console, navigate to **Administration** > **Accounts**.
2. Select a Custom administrator account and click **Tasks** > **Properties**.
3. In the **Account Properties** dialog, click **Change Permissions**.
4. In the **Account Permissions** dialog, select a Site in the left pane and click **Change permissions** (or click the **Edit** link in the right pane).
5. In the left pane (Permission type), select **Certificates**.
6. In the right pane (Global permissions), select one or more permissions.
7. When done, close all dialogs.

A RAS administrator can also delegate his/her permissions to a custom administrator. To do so, navigate to **Farm** > **Site** > **Certificates** and click **Tasks** > **Delegate permissions**. In the dialog that opens, delegate permissions to a desired Custom administrator.

## 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.parallels.com/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/ssl-certificate-management/permissions-to-manage-certificates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
