# Change its own permission settings

`grant.credential.self` — **grant** × **credential** at **self** reach (the agent's own process, sandbox or turn). Family: identity. Effect: **undone by the same actor with no loss**.

## Granted by 3 of 9

| Profile | Control on the path | Evidence | Via |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Claude Code — local · confirm off](../../../map/grants/anthropic/claude-code/local-confirmations-off/index.md) | ◐ setting | derived | shell (Bash) |
| [Claude Code — local · confirm on](../../../map/grants/anthropic/claude-code/local-default/index.md) | ◐ setting | derived | shell (Bash) |
| [Claude Desktop — local tools](../../../map/grants/anthropic/claude-desktop/default/index.md) | ◐ setting | derived | local files and commands (when enabled) |

## What narrows it

**The setting:** settings owned by a different user than the one the agent runs as, or set above the session by the platform

**What it costs:** minutes, if the platform supports it; otherwise the separate account

**Tier after:** boundary

## In the mandates

- **not wanted** by [A coding assistant on my machine](../../../map/mandates/coding-assistant-on-my-machine/index.md)
- **not wanted** by [The desktop app, with local tools switched on](../../../map/mandates/desktop-app-with-local-tools/index.md)
