# Authority Accounts Authority accounts are the only accounts that can change the underlying values of the pallet (e.g. fee values, penalty level values, timeout times, etc.). These accounts can't be penalized and they can't participate in carbon credit trading. It is also worth mentioning that these accounts are only set during the deployment of the pallet onto the network. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
