Windows Accounts

Windows Accounts are reusable Windows credentials backed by string variable definitions.

Open Library > Windows Accounts to manage them.

Use Windows Accounts when packages or endpoint Windows scripts need a reusable username and password without embedding credentials directly into workflow definitions.

Account Fields

Each Windows Account has:

• a name
• an optional description
• a username string variable, which may be plain or secret
• a password secret string variable

The selected variables are displayed by label. Ordyn does not display their stored plaintext values.

Managing Accounts

Use the page to:

• search existing Windows Accounts
• create accounts
• edit the selected username and password variables
• delete accounts that are not used by workflows

Before deleting a Windows Account, check package and script workflows that may reference it.

Table

The table shows:

• account name
• description
• username variable label
• password variable label
• available actions

The table is paginated. Search by account name or related account text when there are many reusable credentials.

Creating And Editing Accounts

When creating or editing a Windows Account, select:

• name
• optional description
• username string variable
• password secret string variable

Both variables are required. A plain username variable is useful when the account name does not need to be hidden. A secret username variable remains available for environments that treat the complete sign-in identity as sensitive. The password variable must be secret.

Create the required string variables first in Variables, then select them in the Windows Account form. Values resolve for the target endpoint when Ordyn uses the account, including applicable tenant, endpoint-folder, group, and endpoint overrides.

Windows Accounts are references to variables, not copies of their values. Updating a selected variable changes what future workflows receive when they use that Windows Account.
