Explanation about password management
i have some amount of ssh credentials at different folders.
Some of them use the same login - which i need to change the stored password.
If use batch edit > edit credentials - login would be overwritten at every host, even it use a another account.
I can create a global credentials, but can't link them with host element. So it works only for manual login via rmb menu?
Did i miss something here?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out!
My name is William and I'm here to assist you in any way I can.
I would suggest creating a Username and Password entry, which can be linked to a Host entry:
This way, when you need to edit the password of the account, you only need to edit the Credential entry, and it will update on every host linked to that credential.
As for the rmb menu, I'm not exactly sure which option you are referring to.
To better understand what you are exactly looking for, could you confirm these information:
The data source you are currently using?
How are you normally operating with RDM?
How would you see RDM operate if it could do exactly what you are looking to achieve?
Best regards,
That's exactly what I meant! Thanks.
I didn't notice this menu(
