Create Credentials
Your account credentials can be viewed from the Account Details page or by clicking Credentials via the left navigation. A credential represents a single login to a single VMS:
Do the following to create a credential:
- From the Credentials page, click Create at the top right to create a new credential and attach it to one of the many VMS’s that integrates with.
-
Select a VMS Type. After selecting the type, the list of required fields varies based on the selected VMS. Some of the more common fields include:
- Company: The company associated with the Credential.
- Company Contact: Contact at the company.
- Credential Name: The name of the credential, as defined by you.
- Notifications: The email address VMS Sync will use to forward VMS generated emails. VMS Sync updates almost all VMS credentials emails to xxx+xxxxx@fyresync.com.
- Exclusive Credentials vs Personal Credentials: Choose if the credential is Exclusive or Personal.
- Exclusive: VMS Sync manages Exclusive Credentials, where we update the password upon credential creation and on a weekly basis. This is the “set it and forget it” method. You will not be able to log in to the VMS with this user.
- Personal: Provides a way for VMS Sync to access a VMS when you can’t supply an additional login. VMS Sync does not update or manage the password for Personal Credentials. As a result, it is your responsibility to update VMS Sync whenever the password for your VMS changes. Note that you can still use this password to log in to the VMS.
- When all of the required fields are populated, click Create Credential.
