Credential: Authentication for Service Access

A Credential in Agentria is authentication information required to securely access external services or resources.

API keys, authentication tokens, passwords, and certificates all fall under credentials, which the system uses to identify users and verify their access permissions.

Whenever you call an external API (e.g., using a specific Google service) or integrate with databases, cloud storage, or other resources, a valid credential is required.

Without credentials, the system cannot verify access rights — requests may be rejected, or workflows may fail to execute properly.

In other words, credentials are an essential component for securely exchanging data with external services and ensuring the stable operation of automation workflows.

Key Features and Advantages

• Security: Manage sensitive information safely without embedding it directly in code, minimizing the risk of security breaches.

• Efficiency: Reuse a single credential across multiple workflows, simplifying management and maintenance.

• Organized Management: Manage credentials on a project level to clearly define access permissions per service and prevent privilege misuse.

Agentria provides a built-in credential management feature that allows users to easily register, edit, and delete credentials through an intuitive interface.

This enables developers to focus on workflow design and automation without getting tangled in complex security configurations.
