Include Credential Display Name in Credential Release Activity

What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?

Credential release activities should include a column showing the display name of the credential along with the credential username.

Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.

Within Netwrix’s credential release activities, you currently only can see the account username, and the resource it is attached to. This can be an issue if you use the credential display name as a descriptive name to identify an account that matches other usernames. See an example screenshot attached where there are two instances of a root password stored. From the current credential release view, you can not identify which account is which, but from looking at the website resource these credentials are attached to, we can see much more clearly what the distinction should be. It’s odd to me that only the account and resource columns are the only that exist in the credential release activity currently since the underlying API call is returning all the information of the accounts as shown below. I would like to request either that the credential display name be added as a column in the credential release activity, or for a column selector to be added to allow users to select what columns they would like displayed from the data returned.

How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

Currently, the only workaround is to open dev tools and look at the API response to see what order the credentials are in and what the display names are. This works, but is definitely more effort than it should be.

Upload any supporting images that you think should be considered in this idea.

Hi David,

Thanks for the suggestion.

We do have an overhaul of the credential release workflow planned for later next year, with a separate ‘My Credentials’ section, but I will talk to the team and see if there is anything that can be done to improve the labeling in the meantime e.g. “account (displayname)” - this might mean in your case its displayed as “root (root(VCenter 7))” but this might be better than having to open dev tools to figure the account.

Might be some other options. We’ll get back to you on this.

All the best,
Martin

Thanks for the insight Martin, and I’ll keep my fingers crossed there’s an easy enough workaround to implement for the time being!
