The Manage Credentials page specifies credentials by organization and machine group. These can be referenced by a VSA user when accessing a machine or device. Optionally include a note with each credential. Use the View Assets page to specify credentials by individual machine or device.
Agent Credentials
If the asset is an agent machine, a credential can be optionally used as the source credential for an agent credential in a Policy Management policy. If multiple credentials are defined for a machine, then the most local level defined has precedence: by individual machine, by machine group, or by organization. At any one level, only one managed credential can be designated the source credential for an agent credential. A managed credential is created when a user runs the Systems Management Configuration Setup Wizard for an organization.
