Abstract

Configure Credential permissions (under Integrations).

Controls access to stored credential sets (reusable authentication objects that integrations and systems reference for connecting to external services). Credential sets centralize sensitive authentication data (usernames, passwords, certificates) so they can be managed in one place rather than being embedded in each integration configuration.

Users can access Credentials on the Credentials page by going to SettingsConfigurationsIntegrationsCredentials.

Note

To view the Credentials page, users require the following view permissions:

  • Integrations

  • Data Sources

  • External Issue Mapping

Without these permissions, users can't view the Credentials page.
