AAP about credentials

Last updated:

ANSIBLE

Types:

  1. Private credential (any user can create it/owner and sys admins can use it/sys auditors can see it)
  2. Organization credential (sys admin and admins can create it/can be assigned to users and teams)

The automation controller Admin user can assign an organization to an existing private credential, converting a private credential into an organization credential.

Once credential is created/saved, no way to get the password in plain text. It is encrypted and then saved in DB.

Credentials can be configured to prompt for password.
