Re framework automation

A developer created an automation project in the Robotic Enterprise (RE) Framework which needs to log into a website using different credentials depending on the account and machine it runs on. If the value is not defined for the account and machine, the developer needs the process to throw an error. For security reasons, the credentials for the login are stored in Orchestrator as Credential Assets with the Value Per Account-Machine option.
Which steps should the developer perform to use the Orchestrator asset in the project?

A. Create a Credential asset with the Global Value disabled.
Add a row in the Assets sheet in Config.xlsx with the name of the Orchestrator asset.

B. Create a Credential asset with the Global Value disabled.
Add a row in the Settings sheet in Config.xlsx with the name of the Orchestrator asset.

C. Create a Credential asset with the Global Value enabled.
Add a row in the Assets sheet in Config.xlsx with the name of the Orchestrator asset.

D. Create a Credential asset with the Global Value enabled.
Add a row in the Settings sheet in Config.xlsx with the name of the Orchestrator asset.

Option B

I think it’s a tricky question and varies with scenario

If the credential is different for each account and machine, then option B might indeed be more suitable. This would involve creating a Credential asset with the Global Value disabled, as this allows for specific values per account-machine combination. Then, you would add a row in the Settings sheet in Config.xlsx with the name of the Orchestrator asset to ensure the correct credential is used based on the account and machine.

Yeah
After revalidating I think B suits the best

option B is the right

i was thinking about how option C can be done @Palaniyappan

Later you changed it so thats fine.

we usually pass the credetial asset name in the setting sheet only

Yeah
My first thought was between B and C option
I just revalidated it
Glad that u shared the same view after my explanation on why it’s option B😉

@Palaniyappan @Shiva_Nikhil I saw those two questions and doubted the correct options after reading deeply on re-framework, that’s why I asked.
Option B is also what I think is right from my research. I just needed a confirmation.

Thanks a lot guys for your time
