Credential Profiles

A Credential Profile stores the credentials used to talk to network devices during discovery- an SNMP community or v3 login, or an SSH / TELNET account. Network Profiles reference these when they scan.

Availability

Inventory Profile is available on EndpointOps editions and above. If you don't see it in the menu, your license doesn't include it.

How to get here

You reach this page through Settings, so you need administrator (settings) permission. If you don't see the Settings icon, ask your administrator for access.

1. Sign in to EndpointOps.
2. In the top-right of any screen, click the Settings (gear ⚙️) icon.
3. In the Settings menu on the left, open Inventory Profile and click Credential Profiles.

Navigate to: Settings → Inventory Profile → Credential Profiles

URL path: /settings/inventory-profiles/credential-profiles

The Credential Profiles screen

Columns: ID, Name, Description, SNMP Version, Created On.

Each row has edit (✏️) and delete (🗑️) actions.

The toolbar

Above the list, the same toolbar appears on every list screen:

• Create- add a new item (opens a form panel from the right).
• Refresh- reload the latest data.
• Export- download the current list.
• Columns- choose which columns to show (covered under "Choosing which columns to show" below).

Working with the list

These controls behave the same on every list:

• Search- type in the Search… box above the table to filter rows as you type.
• Sort- click the arrows in a column header to sort by that column.
• View details- click a row's link in the first column to open a read-only view.
• Edit / delete- use the edit (✏️) and delete (🗑️) icons at the end of a row.
• Pagination- when a list runs to more than one page, use the page controls at the bottom-right and the / page selector to change how many rows show.
• Permissions- you only see Create, edit, and delete if your role grants the matching permission; otherwise the screen is read-only.

When you save a new or edited record, a success message appears, the panel closes, and the list refreshes. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk.

How do I add a credential profile?

1. Click Create. The Create Credential Profile panel opens.

   Credential Profile Type	Yes	SNMP, SSH, or TELNET. The fields below change to match.
   Description	No	What it's for.

3. Fill in the type-specific fields (see below), then click Create.
