Service Credential

In this section, you will find how to generate, revoke and edit Service Credentials.


Permission: Only those with Account Holder or Sys_Admin permission can generate Service Credentials.

What is a Service Credential

A Service Credential empowers Enterprise accounts to manage service tokens with custom teams and scopes tailored to specific purposes. Organizations can execute pipeline-level actions without direct intervention from an individual team member.

These account-level operations include:

  1. Creating Resources;

  2. Executing specific tasks via pipeline without direct user involvement.

For instance, a token can be generated with the following attributes:

  • Name of a team called Tech Products;
  • Permissions to only create and manage Studios;
  • Assigned to teams responsible for Tech Products.
