Two questions, answered per provider
Both of these come up before anybody connects anything: what to do about several accounts that nothing adds together, and how to make a key that can read them without being able to touch them. Neither answer is the same at two providers, so neither is written once.

The exact permissions to grant, which figure each one powers, what breaks when one is missing, and what can honestly be verified afterwards.
