Description

This comes up a lot on projects... we should either add docs to explain that this can't be done on the app (and that credentials must be re-created if you want a different user to see the creds).

Or hopefully a feature will come where it will be possible to transfer ownership of credentials.

What we have now on creds:

  1. https://docs.openfn.org/documentation/build/credentials
  2. https://docs.openfn.org/documentation/user-credentials

Research direction

Review the existing credentials pages at docs.openfn.org/documentation/build/credentials and docs.openfn.org/documentation/user-credentials first. Update the documentation to explain that credentials cannot currently be shared and must be recreated for another user; completion means the current limitation and workaround are clear to readers.
