Certifications, or confirmation of a user's qualifications or education, are attributes that label and identify users so that other people in the system have a better understanding of who they are. These Certifications are created and maintained by your organization and, once created, can be assigned to any General, Capture, Offline, Setup, or Inactive users.
Certifications can be grouped under Certification Folders for organizational purposes. These groupings will be represented in the Certification drop-down when filtering a List of users or adding a Certification to a user's profile.
"Certification" is the default name of this user attribute. Your organization may have given this attribute a different name.
Who can edit a Certification or Certification Folder?
Anyone with the "Global User Administrator" permission can edit Certifications and Certification Folders.
People with other Administrator permissions may be able to access the Certifications Administration page, but will not be able to make changes to it.
