# SetCredential

> Enables you to update the value of an indicated credential asset, that is already available in Orchestrator, be it a global or a Per Robot asset. [Click here for details on assets](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/standalone/2023.4/user-guide/about-assets).

Enables you to update the value of an indicated credential asset, that is already available in Orchestrator, be it a global or a Per Robot asset. [Click here for details on assets](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/standalone/2023.4/user-guide/about-assets).

Note that to execute this method, [the Robot role](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/standalone/2023.4/user-guide/default-roles#robot-role) needs to have **Edit** permissions on assets. When this method is run, it uses the same authentication context as the Robot which executes it, inheriting its permissions.
