# 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. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
