Hi,

The problem:
I have two group of users (rol tech) and (rol users) and I want that they use the same entry but with different credentials and it is a common situation for many of my entries.
The credentials change for each entry.
I want that the administrator of RDM manage the credentials and the user can not view or modify the credentials.

Options discarded
user of user settings because i need to do user by user not by role :(

Best option i have found
duplicate the entries and point each entry to each credential
:( any change in the entry i have to update twice or more if i have more than 2 credentials
I need to configure that one role see one entry and the other the other entry, that is OK

My proposal
I love when you point credentials by key and only one entry can be use for many user just changing the credential with that key in the private Vault.
My proposal is nothing new it's just a copy of this idea:

  1. When you select the credential repository, be able to select a credential by key not only by path (or a new type [credential repository by key])
  2. Then you give permission on credentials instead of permissions to duplicated entries


And that's all, with only one entry and only one permission configuration you can manage groups of users with different credentials for each rol.

In the situation that there are more than one credential for the same key (administrators for example) my preferred options is allow to the user to decide which of the credential with permission to use.

Now the situation is a bit weird:

  1. you can create two credentials with the same name and path (i have hope that path can work as a key)
  2. you can select one (but you don't see witch at the selector weird -- see the picture - it's useless the selector in that specific case

  1. you can assign permissions and try with two users
  2. for one user/rol works (the linked credential)
  3. for the other user/rol doesn't work. Don't find the credential because internally i suppose use the id instead of path ( end of my hope )


Any thoughts,
Thanks in advance

Hello,

This is interesting, thank you for the detailed scenario. We'll add this to our todo list but I can't give you an estimate on when we'll be working on this.
