Credentials

Comprehensive overview of the Credentials feature in ELITEA — how to create, manage, and use credentials when configuring toolkits.

Introduction

The ability to manage authentication credentials centrally within ELITEA offers significant benefits:

Enhanced Security

Store sensitive authentication information like API keys, tokens, and passwords securely using ELITEA’s credential management system.

Centralized Management

Manage authentication details for various external services from a single location within ELITEA, simplifying administration and improving visibility.

Reusability

Create reusable credentials that can be easily applied to multiple Agent toolkits, saving time and effort.

Flexibility

Configure credentials at different levels (personal or project-specific) to meet various security and access requirements.

The sections below cover how to create and manage Credentials, along with best practices and practical use cases to help you effectively leverage this feature.

Workspace Types

ELITEA organizes work into two distinct types of spaces. Credentials are scoped to the space where they are created — understanding this distinction is essential for managing access correctly.

Private Workspace

Your personal area within ELITEA. You have exclusive access to all content you create here — Chats, Agents, Prompts, Datasources, Collections, Artifacts, and Credentials.

Team Project

A collaborative space shared with team members. All members can access the project’s shared content, including Chats, Agents, Prompts, Datasources, Collections, Artifacts, and Credentials.

Credentials Overview

The Credentials menu is where you store authentication details for external services — API keys, tokens, usernames, passwords — so your toolkits can connect to those services without requiring sensitive information to be entered repeatedly. Credentials are scoped to the workspace or project where they are created and can be reused across any compatible toolkit within that scope.

Key capabilities:

• Centralized Authentication Management: The Credentials menu provides a single point of control for managing authentication details for various external services.
• Reusable Configurations: Once a credential is configured, it can be reused across multiple toolkits within the same project or your Private workspace.
• Private and Project Level Credentials: You can create credentials within your Private workspace for personal use or within Team projects for shared access among project members.
• Secure Storage: ELITEA securely stores sensitive information such as API keys, tokens, and passwords, with the option to use Secrets for enhanced security.

Accessing the Credentials Menu

1. Log in to ELITEA.

2. Navigate to either your Private workspace or the specific Team project where you want to configure credentials.

3. Click on Credentials in the main navigation menu.

4. Click the + Create button.

5. A dialog will appear prompting you to Select Credential Type. Choose the service you want to create credentials for (e.g., Confluence, GitHub, Jira, Slack).

6. You will be presented with a configuration form specific to the selected credential type. Follow the detailed steps below for each service.

   

Configure the credential parameters including name and authentication details, then click Save to create the credential. After saving, the newly created credential will be added to your Credentials dashboard, making it available for selection when configuring toolkits. You can manage your saved credentials directly from the dashboard. Click on a credential to edit its details, set it as default, or delete it if it’s no longer needed.

Scope and Security

• Private Credentials: Created in your Private workspace — accessible only to you.
• Project Credentials: Created within a Team project — accessible to all project members.
• Accuracy matters: Incorrect credentials will cause toolkit connections to fail. Verify that your tokens, keys, or passwords are valid and have the permissions required for the intended operations.
• Use Secrets (recommended): For any sensitive field (API key, token, password), reference a pre-configured secret from the Secrets section instead of entering the value directly. This keeps sensitive data out of configuration forms and makes rotation easier.
• Manual entry: Acceptable for temporary setups or testing when Secrets are not yet available.

Using Secrets in Credentials

Instead of typing sensitive values (API keys, tokens, passwords) directly into credential fields, ELITEA lets you reference a pre-stored Secret — keeping sensitive data out of configuration forms and making credential rotation easier.

Prerequisites

Before referencing a secret in a credential, create the secret in the Settings → Secrets section:

1. Click the Settings icon in the main navigation sidebar.
2. Select Secrets from the left navigation drawer.
3. Click the + button to add a new secret.
4. Enter a unique Name (letters, numbers, and underscores only — e.g., github_pat_token) and the Value (the actual sensitive string).
5. Click the ✓ checkmark to save.

Secrets are scoped to the project where they are created. Make sure you create the secret in the same project (or Private workspace) where the credential will be used.

For full details on creating and managing secrets, see the Secrets documentation.

Referencing a Secret in a Credential Field

When filling in any sensitive field in a credential form (such as Token, API Key, Password, Client Secret), you can select a secret instead of entering the value manually:

1. Click on the sensitive field — a dropdown will appear listing available secrets from the current project or workspace.

2. To use an existing secret, select it from the list. The field will display the secret name (e.g., github_pat_token) instead of the actual value.

3. To create a new secret, click + New Secret at the top of the dropdown — you will be redirected to the Settings → Secrets page. Create the secret there, then navigate back to the credential form. Click the Refresh icon to reload the secrets list, then select your newly created secret from the dropdown.

4. Complete the remaining credential fields and click Save.

   

• Security: The raw value is never stored in the credential form — only a reference to the secret.
• Easy rotation: Update the secret value once in Settings → Secrets and all credentials referencing it pick up the change automatically.
• Auditability: Secret access and changes are tracked separately from credential configuration.

Using Credentials in Toolkits

Once you have created credentials, you can assign them to toolkits to enable secure access to external services.

How to Assign a Credential:

1. When creating or editing a toolkit, locate the configuration dropdown.
2. Choose an existing credential from the list, or create a new one if needed.
3. Save your changes to apply the credential to your toolkit.

• Use project-scoped credentials for team integrations and shared toolkits.
• Use personal credentials for individual agent tasks and private toolkits.
• Regularly rotate and update credentials to maintain security.
• Use Secrets for storing sensitive authentication information.

For more information on creating and managing Toolkits, see the Toolkits documentation.
