Credentials: Edit Credentials

Overview

The Edit Credentials view allows users to update existing credential records for secure integrations with third-party systems. While the core record type and record name remain fixed, sensitive fields like usernames, passwords, and access endpoints can be updated without breaking placeholder logic. Mapp Engage always fetches the current credential values at runtime, so updates do not require manual adjustments to existing configurations.

Navigation Path

1. Main Navigation > User Management > Permissions > Credentials

2. In the Actions column, click the Edit (pencil) icon

General Behavior

• You can modify fields such as usernames, passwords, file paths, and endpoints.

• The record name cannot be edited. It defines the generated placeholder and must remain unchanged.

• Once updated, the encrypted values are applied automatically wherever the record is used.

• Placeholders in transfer functions (e.g., FTP paths) do not need to be manually updated after editing.

Credential Placeholders

After a record is saved, Mapp Engage generates non-editable placeholders for each encrypted input. These placeholders follow a consistent naming pattern and are based on the value entered in the Name field of the credential.

The placeholder logic supports secure and dynamic replacement of sensitive information during executions such as imports, exports, and message triggers.

Placeholder Naming Pattern

Placeholders are read-only and cannot be manually modified in the interface.

Additional Information

• Changing sensitive values (like passwords or API keys) does not require updating placeholders in other functions.

• Always choose meaningful and unique names during credential creation, as those names define the permanent placeholder identifiers.
