To who must credentials be granted in order to deploy to production?

The correct choice is that credentials must be granted to the Copado Admin in order to deploy to production. This is because the Copado Admin is responsible for the administration and management of the Copado environment, including configuring access permissions and ensuring that users have the necessary credentials to perform deployment tasks.

In a typical deployment scenario, having a centralized individual—such as the Copado Admin—manage these credentials is essential for maintaining security and control over the deployment process. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access production environments, which is critical for safeguarding sensitive production data and minimizing the risk of errors during deployment.

This central management also allows for a streamlined deployment process, as the Copado Admin can grant or revoke access as needed based on team changes or project requirements. Properly allocating responsibilities helps maintain the integrity of the deployment process and supports good governance practices within the organization.
