GIS Credentials
The GIS Credentials section is used to manage credentials that allow the platform to connect to GIS data sources.
GIS credentials store the authentication information needed to access secured GIS services. These credentials can be used by layer configurations or other GIS-related features that require authenticated access to external GIS sources.
This section is primarily intended for system administrators or users with GIS credential management permissions. Access to this section and available actions depend on user role, permissions, and agency configuration.
