Credential package

In the Credential package, use the Assign action to assign an insecure string or a variable value directly to the credential variable.

Actions in the Credential package

The Credential package includes the following action:

Note:

The credential variables support the retry mechanism. When you create a bot that uses credential variables, if the bot fails during run time to retrieve those variables from the Credential Vault because the Control Room is disconnected or the Control Room services stop intermittently, then the bot tries three times to retrieve the credential variables from the Credential Vault.
While the Convert credential to string action is listed on the Credential package details page, it is not available for use from the actions list in the Bot editor. This is because the action should be used only for migration and not for other scenarios because it introduces a security risk.


Action	Description
Assign	Sets the value of a credential variable. You can select Credential to use a value from the Credential Vault, Variable to use a credential variable, or Insecure string to manually enter a variable. In the Save the outcome to a variable field, select a variable to hold the returned value.
