# Database Credentials

The Database Credentials page allows fast and easy registration of Database Credential(s) associated with the database where the CopyStorm Backup(s) reside.

**Note**that *Built-In* credentials have been pre-installed. These are the database credentials to the underlying CapStorm Platform database.

**Note** that the logged in user must be, at minimum, an ***Admin*** CapStorm Role to update credentials. See [User Security](/capstorm-container/reference/user-security.md) for more details on CapStorm Roles.
