  1. Go to Setup > Permissions Sets.
  2. Create or edit a permission set, and click External Credential Principal Access:

    Important: If agents do not have Read access, their authentication will fail.

Assigning External Credential Principal Access to enable the Quality Rating Flag for end users

For Salesforce Chat, if you intend to use the Customer Quality Flag feature (where end users can flag the quality of translations) and your org uses the new Named Credentials described on this page (not the legacy ones), you must grant the guest (or unauthenticated user, or user profile) that will use the Flag the same External Credential Principal Access as granted to your agents. 

To do so, repeat the steps from the previous section for the relevant user profile or guest account, like you did with agents.
