what is credential and credential pool?
Hi! Pratik
The Credential feature makes it easy to manage the credentials of external systems. Credentials are created and managed separately by a relevant authority. Workflow owners cannot see or alter user credentials; they can use them in workflow or process parameters. Process Studio process or workflow parameters have Credential as a data type. The parameters are then available as AutomaionEdge workflow configuration or runtime parameters.
A Credential Pool is a collection of credentials. Some external systems (target) allow only one active session per user at a time. Create a Credential Pool for such external systems, which would hold all the available credentials for that external system. Each workflow instance acquires a single credential from a pool at any given time. Hence, if a user wants to run multiple Workflow instances, the user can acquire multiple credentials from a credential pool.
Both the feature options are available on the AutomationEdge portal on the workflows menu.
