Learn how to create a Credential Vault on BugBase

Pre-Requisites

  • Have a Company Account on BugBase

Steps to Create a Credential Vault

1. Navigate to Credentials Tab on your BugBase Dashboard

After Logging In, Click on the Assets Dashboard Icon and Choose Credentials Tab

Click on Create a Vault

2. Add Details for the Vault

Details Include:

  1. Vault Name - Descriptive Name for the Credential Vault

  2. Instructions - Any Instructions to be given to Bug Hunters on how to go about using the assigned credentials

  3. Vault Type - There are mainly two types of Vault Type - Static & Dynamic more about them below.

3. Choosing a Suitable Vault Type

Static Vault

Credentials in these vaults are non-assignable and if claimed the whole credential set will be available to the Bug Hunter.

Generally a static vault would be created in-case testing credentials remain the same for a long period of time.

Dynamic Vault

Credentials in these vaults are assignable and only one particular credential set can be claimed by the Bug Hunter

Generally a dynamic vault would be created in-case testing credentials need to be curated for a specific privilege level for a particular user.

There are Assignment Preferences for a Dynamic Vault:

  1. Auto-Assign Credentials: When a Bug Hunter requests to claim a credential set, any unassigned credential set is automatically assigned to the Bug Hunter. Incase there is no credential to claim the company would be e-mailed to add more credential sets.

  2. Request Based Assign: When a Bug Hunter requests to claim a credential set, a notification to the company is sent in order to assign a credential set to the Bug Hunter.

And That's It! 🎉 Congratulations you've successfully created a Credential Vault.
