Improvements in Credential Management to allow self-service / automation

[astrid.stollberger]

We have a pretty big RPA developer community for which our central operations team needs to manage the credentials as we cannot grant everyone the "Manage Credentials" permissions. This is because with "Manage Credentials" permission everyone would be able to change the Password and/or update the "Access Rights" settings for any credential even without knowing the current Password - which is pretty bad.

So we are trying to automate the credential management but here again, it's apparently not possible without UI automation of Blue Prism itself as there is no other way to set the "Access Rights" for a given credential than via the UI.

It would be great if there would be either 
a) a simple API which would allow creation of credentials (including Access Rights settings) in an automated fashion
b) [preferred option] a better access management / authorization check for credential management, so that we could just grant everyone the "manage credentials" permission and if they have the current password they can update/delete the credential if they want to; if not, they will not be able to edit the credential. Only System Admins should probably still be able to edit any credential without having to provide the current password.
