Feature Request: Reference/Link Credentials in Asset Layout Fields (with Usage Description)
Hi Hudu team, We’d like to request an improvement to how credentials can be associated with assets. Problem / current limitation Today, credentials can be stored in Hudu, but it’s difficult to structure them directly on an asset in a way that explains what each credential is used for on that specific device/service. In practice, we often have multiple logins tied to the same asset (local admin, iLO/iDRAC, application login, VPN profile, service account, etc.), and it becomes unclear which password belongs to which purpose. Requested feature Add a field type in Asset Layouts that lets us select/reference an existing Credential (similar to a relationship picker), and optionally provide a short usage/description per referenced credential. Example: • Field label: “Credentials” • Inside the asset, we can add one or more credential references: • Credential: “Server01 - Local Admin” Usage: “Local admin login for maintenance” • Credential: “Server01 - iLO” Usage: “Out-of-band management” • Credential: “App Service Account” Usage: “Used by the scheduled task / service” Expected behavior / UX • In an asset layout, admins can add a “Credential Reference” field (single-select or multi-select). • When editing an asset, users can pick one or more existing credentials from Hudu. • Each picked credential can have an optional text description (purpose/where it’s used). • The asset view should display these references as clickable links to the credential item (with permission checks applied as normal). Why this matters • Reduces guesswork and mistakes when multiple credentials exist for a single asset • Makes onboarding and handovers easier (clear purpose per credential) • Keeps credentials centralized while still making them actionable on the asset Acceptance criteria (suggested) • New “Credential Reference” field type available in Asset Layouts • Supports single or multiple credential references • Optional per-reference description field • Clickable link from asset to credential (respecting existing credential permissions) If helpful, we can share real examples of how we structure assets and credentials today.
