Global Credential Management

Credential Manager

There are several third-party sites and applications that can interact with Release Owl, like artefact repositories, cloud-based storage systems, services etc. The admin can configure credentials in the application for use by Release Owl.

Once the user adds/configures the credentials in Release Owl, the credentials can be used by Pipeline projects to interact with the 3rd party applications.

Admin users can switch to Administration View to access the Credential Manager.

On clicking Credential Manager menu option on the left-hand pane, you get to see the list of credentials that are registered.

You can register new credential by clicking Register Credential available on the right-hand pane. The following screen is displayed:
