Certification Authorities are listed and managed in the Certification Authorities section. If you have multiple Certification Authorities, you can apply a filter to sort them.

|  | Certification Authorities and certificates are accessed using the same permissions for the Certificates function. Certificates and authorities created during installation, and those created afterward by the administrator, are contained in the All static group. See the list of permissions for more information on access rights.

Click Actions to manage the selected Certification Authority:

• Add—Create a new Certification Authority.

• Tags—Edit tags (assign, unassign, create, delete).

• Edit—Edit the Certification Authority description.

• Audit Log—View the Audit Log for the selected item.

• Delete—Delete the selected Certification Authority.

• Import Public Key

• Export Public Key—Use this option to back up your Certification Authorities.

• Access Group > Move—Move the object to another Static Group where it is available to users with sufficient rights for the target group. Changing the Access Group is useful when solving access issues with other users. Access Group sets the object's Static Group and access to the object based on the user's access rights.
