# Network Credentials

### Intro to Zello Work Credentials <a href="#intro-to-zello-work-credentials" id="intro-to-zello-work-credentials"></a>

The SDK integrates with [Zello Work](https://paidsupport.zello.com/hc/en-us/articles/26976969000589-Overview-of-Zello-Work), Zello’s managed, secure, and configurable PTT solution. Zello Work subscriptions are defined by one (or many) company-specific private networks that host customizable settings, channels, and user privileges. Access to these private networks is restricted to those who have been assigned credentials by a network admin, ensuring all communications are protected and solely accessible by intended parties.&#x20;

Consequently, all SDK functionality—including integration and use of example apps—requires users to sign in with their Zello Work network credentials. Network credentials include three elements:

* Username
* Password
* [Network name](https://paidsupport.zello.com/hc/en-us/articles/26985136477965-What-is-a-Zello-Work-network)

These credentials are administered and managed by a [network admin](https://paidsupport.zello.com/hc/en-us/articles/26534030824461-Assigning-users-as-Secondary-Admins-and-Sub-Admins) (see **How to Obtain Credentials** below). Access to Zello Work is only possible with all three elements.

{% hint style="info" %}
The person who establishes the network will be automatically designated as an admin, but [additional admins](https://paidsupport.zello.com/hc/en-us/articles/26534030824461-Assigning-users-as-Secondary-Admins-and-Sub-Admins) can be added later. See [this link ](https://zellowork.com/home.html)for assistance starting your Zello Work trial.

### How To Obtain Credentials  <a href="#how-to-obtain-credentials" id="how-to-obtain-credentials"></a>

Admins centrally manage all users' network credentials through the[ management console](https://paidsupport.zello.com/hc/en-us/categories/25909245035917-Admin-Management-Console). They are responsible for [adding and configuring network users](https://paidsupport.zello.com/hc/en-us/articles/26981814818061-Adding-users-to-the-network), including the creation of a user’s username and password.

If you’re joining an existing Zello Work network, an admin will assign your credentials. You don’t need to create an account yourself—simply sign in to Zello Work with your username, password, and network name provided by the admin.
