h2. Viewing/Updating a Delegated Credential
The GAARDS UI provides a mechanism of viewing the details of a delegated credential. To do so you must first find the delegated credential as [directed above|#Finding Credentials that You Delegated].
# From the _Delegated Credential(s)_ table select the credential you wish to view.
# Click the _View Record_ button, this will launch the _Delegated Credential_ window.
The _Delegated Credential_ window contains the details for a delegated credential. The window contains three tabs: (1) _General Information_, (2) _Delegation Policy_, (3) _Certificate Chain_, (4) _Auditing_. The _General Information_ tab contains the following details of the delegated credential:
# *Grid Identity -* The identity of the party who owns the credential.
# *Delegation Identifier -* A unique identifier assigned to the delegated credential by the CDS.
# *Initiated On -* The date that the delegated credential was requested.
# *Approved On -* The date that the delegated credential was approved.
# *Expires On -* The date that the delegated credential expires.
# *Issued Credential Lifetime -* The amount of time that credentials issued by the CDS to third parties will be valid for.
# *Issued Credential Path Length -* A path length specifies the length of a credential chain. For example a credential with a length of 2 means that the credential can be delegated to a second party and the second party could in turn delegate the credential to a third party at which point the third party can no longer delegate the credential. The _Issued Credential Path Length_ specifies the path length of the credentials issued to third parties. An _Issued Credential Path Length_ of 0 indicates that the third party may not further delegate the user's credential.
# \*Delegation Status-*The status of the delegated credential: _Pending_, _Approved_, or _Suspended_.
The CDS allows user's to suspend access to their credentials, once suspended the delegated credential is terminated the user must delegate a new credential to re-enable access to their credential. To suspend a delegated credential complete the following steps:
# View the details of the delegated credential you wish to suspend.
# From the _Delegation Status_ drop down select _Suspended_.
# Click the _Update Status_ button, this will suspend access to the delegated credential.
The _Certificate Chain_ tab contains the certificate chain of the delegated credential. The _Delegation Policy_ tab specifies which delegation policy was chosen and the details of that delegation policy. The _Auditing{_}tab allows a user to search the auditing logs for the Delegated Credential. For each delegated credential the CDS maintains auditing information around events associated with the delegated credential. The following is a list of auditing information that is captured by the CDS:
* *Delegation Initiation*
* *Delegation Approval*
* *Delegation Status Update*
* *Credential Issued*
* *Access Denied to Credential*
Delegators may monitor the auditing information to determine when it was created, when it was approved, who was issued a delegated credential, and who was not granted access to a delegated credential.
