Credential Management

CX Fabric's Credential Management is a secure and user-friendly solution that allows users to create, store, and manage their private credentials for various apps and services within the CXFabric platform. The system will enable users to authenticate themselves and establish connections between the apps or services and the CXFabric component using created and stored credentials instead of asking the users to enter credentials for every node or flow.

NOTE: The available features and actions within the Credential Management page are strictly determined by your roles' permissions. This means that you will only have visibility and access to the following actions that are specifically authorized based on your assigned roles:

• Create credentials

• Delete credentials

• Modify credentials

• Share credentials

• View credentials
