Familiarize yourself with the credential management concept. For more information, see Credential Management in RPA Hub.

You can't delete a robot credential if it’s associated with any credential group. For more information, see Create a credential group in RPA Hub.

You can't edit the Robot Username field when the life-cycle stage status of the associated bot process is set to Published. You can edit the password irrespective of what the life-cycle stage is of the associated bot process. For more information, see Life-cycle stage statuses (LLCS) of a bot process in RPA Hub.

You can't edit the External Credential field when the life-cycle stage status of the associated bot process is set to Published.

If a robot credential uses an external credential vault, you must make sure that the associated external credential vault is active.

In RPA Hub, you can retrieve the robot credentials, application credentials, or a Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) seed in two ways:

• From a ServiceNow credentials record (application credential, robot credential, or TOTP authenticator).
• From an external credential vault. For more information, see External credential vault in RPA Hub.
