LLM Credentials

To access LLM Credentials, navigate to Administration > Environment Settings > LLM Settings > LLM Credentials.

LLM Credentials store the API keys and authentication details that enable AI Components to connect to AI provider services. Each credential identifies an AI provider, holds the authentication data for that provider, and can be marked as the environment default. Smart Components, including the Chat Agent Smart Component and the AI Summarizer Component, use these credentials to send messages to the AI provider.

Managing LLM Credentials requires administrative permissions. An environment administrator can grant access.

Credential List

The credential list displays all LLM credentials registered in the environment.

Column	Description
Default	Indicates the environment default credential. The default is used when a Smart Component does not specify a credential by name. Only one credential can be the default at a time.
Service	The credential name.
Description	A description of the credential, if provided.
Auth Type	The AI provider this credential uses for authentication (for example, Google Vertex AI or Anthropic).

Page Actions

Action	Description
Create Credential	Opens a new page to register a new LLM credential.

Credential Actions

Select the (ellipsis) on any row to access the following actions.

Action	Description
Edit	Opens a new page to update the credential's title, description, or authentication fields. The credential name cannot be changed after creation.
Test Connection	Sends a test request using the credential to confirm the connection is working.
Delete	Permanently removes the credential. This action cannot be undone.

Deleting a credential that is referenced by a Smart Component, like the Chat Agent Smart Component, causes that component to stop responding. Update the component before deleting the credential.

Adding a Credential

Navigate to Administration > Environment Settings > LLM Settings > LLM Credentials and select Create Credential.

Service Info

Field	Description
Service Title	The display name for this credential. Required.
Service Name	A unique identifier for this credential. Only letters, numbers, and hyphens are accepted. The name cannot be changed after the credential is created. Required.
Allow service execution from within server side execution only	When checked, this setting restricts the credential to server-side use only. Optional.

Provider

Select a provider from the LLM Provider drop-down. Authentication fields update based on the selected provider. The following providers are supported:

Provider	Required fields
OpenAI	API Key
Anthropic	API Key
Azure AI Foundry	Endpoint URL, API Key
Amazon Bedrock	Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, Region
Google Vertex AI	Service Account JSON, Project ID, Region
Google Gemini	API Key

OpenAI credentials also accept an optional Organization ID. All API keys and secrets are stored securely and are not visible after saving.

Available models depend on the selected provider. Confirm model availability with the AI provider before creating a credential.

Default Credential

One credential can be marked as the environment default. Smart Components that do not specify a credential by name use the default credential automatically.

To set a credential as the default, select the radio button in the Default column next to the credential name.

If no default credential is set and a Smart Component does not specify a credential by name, the chat fails to respond.
