Attach a credential to a project

A credential attached to a project is given to every task on that project. Attach one when a project's tasks all need the same service, for example the team's Jira or a deployment account.

Who can do this: you need to be able to edit the project — as its Project Maintainer, or as an Org Owner or Admin. Then a personal credential can be attached only by its owner; an organization credential by its owner or an Org Owner or Admin. A System credential can't be attached to a project. When you aren't allowed, the tab says why after you select Attach.

Attach it

1. In the sidebar, select Directory, then the Credentials tab.
2. Select the credential's name. It opens in a pane beside the list.
3. Select the Access tab. It shows the credential's Owner and the Projects it's attached to.
4. Pick the Project.
5. Select Attach.

The project now appears under Projects. Tasks that start on it from now on receive the credential.

Detach it

1. Open the credential's Access tab, as above.
2. Find the project under Projects.
3. Select Detach on its row.
4. Confirm.
5. Check that the project is gone from the list.

Tasks on that project stop receiving the credential.
