# Salesforce Credentials

The Salesforce Credentials page allows fast and easy registration of Salesforce Credential(s) associated with the Org(s) to be backed up.

**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.
