## Examples

::: example
### Changing Master Account Credentials for Protection Group

This example shows how to change Master account credentials for a protection group.

```
$group = Get-VBRProtectionGroup -Name "Support PG"
$csv = $group.Container
$newcsv = Set-VBRCSVContainer -Container $csv -MasterCredentials "supporteast\dstones"
Set-VBRProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $group -Container $newcsv
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRProtectionGroup`](get-vbrprotectiongroup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$group` variable.
2. Get the protection scope. Use the `Container` property of the `$group` variable. Save the result to the `$csv` variable.
3. Run the `Set-VBRCSVContainer` cmdlet. Set the `$csv` variable as the `Container` parameter value. Specify the `MasterCredentials` parameter value. Save the result to the `$newcsv` variable.
4. Run the [`Set-VBRProtectionGroup`](set-vbrprotectiongroup.md) cmdlet. Set the `$group` variable as the `ProtectionGroup` parameter value. Set the `$newcsv` variable as the `Container` parameter value.
