# Trust network

The trust network enables the validation of credentials by associating the issuing authorities with roles.

In order to validate that credentials were issued by authorities that have the correct permissions for it, LTO implements roles through association.

You can see how to configure your node for a trust network [here](/node/identity-node/configuration/trust-network.md).
