# Providers

Providers connects the services Cedros uses for AI, email, voice, search, blockchain, and storage. Open **Settings → Providers**. Canonical tab routes begin with `/admin/settings/providers`, not `/admin/providers`.

## Tabs

- **Intelligence** — AI provider credentials, available models, defaults, and connection tests.
- **Email** — provider delivery and sender configuration used by inbox, campaigns, notifications, and invites.
- **Voice** — text-to-speech provider setup.
- **Search** — external web-search provider setup.
- **Blockchain** — wallet/RPC credentials and blockchain-provider state.
- **Storage** — local/S3/runtime/managed media storage configuration; editable self-managed modes use explicit Test and Save actions.
- **Cedros Providers** — Cedros-managed provider mode and status.

In managed-provider deployments, the ordinary provider-editing workspace can be replaced by a managed-mode view. Do not expect every credential field or tab to appear on every site.

## Secrets and saving

Stored secrets are masked and never revealed again. Use Replace to stage a new value or Remove to stage deletion. Most provider changes autosave after a short pause; wait for the Saved status before leaving. Storage retains its own explicit Save workflow.

Use **Test connection** before relying on a provider. Refreshing model lists changes what Cedros can select but does not by itself change the active default model.
