Credentials

This section describes the Credentials interface in the IBM RPA Control Center.

This page lists all the credentials in the current IBM RPA Control Center environment. The credentials configured here can be retrieved using the Get Vault Item (getVaultItem) command with the System parameter enabled. You can also unlock machines using these credentials.

Note:If you are looking for User Vault credentials, go to Vault credentials.

Differences between credentials and vault credentials
Credentials registered in the Credentials tab can be used by all the users in the environment.
Credentials configured in the Vault Credentials tab are only named references to the User Vault. Once configured locally, they can only be used by the machine with the configured credentials.
