There are three guides:
- User guide
-
If you are using Jenkins and want to understand how to manage credentials using the Credentials API plugin, you should read the user guide.
- Consumer guide
-
If you are writing a plugin for Jenkins and you need to retrieve credentials using the Credentials API, you should read the consumer guide.
- Implementation guide
-
If you are writing a plugin for Jenkins and you need to:
-
Define a new type of credential
-
Define a new type of credentials domain specification
-
Define a new credentials providers
Then the implementation guide is for you.
