If an SSH Key is used to connect to a device, it can be configured in Kron PAM as well. To configure this, the **globalUsername **and** globalSshKey** need to be defined for the Device Group:

1. Navigate to **Device Management** > **Device Groups**.
2. Right-click the device group and select the **Show Properties** option.
3. Set the privileged target device username as **globalUsername**.
4. Set the SSH Key as **globalSshKey**.
