When a Single Connect user with privileged access (like a System Admin, SYSTEM, etc.) connects to databases, they can connect without knowing the privileged user password. 

To use this feature, the Global Username or Assigned Credential features have to be defined.

If the Assigned Credential configurations are defined correctly, the connection is established with the assigned credentials. The Assigned credential takes precedence over the global username.
