Copy or move an authentication setting

Copy an authentication setting to use the same credentials setup in another project. Move it when the setting, and the monitors that use it, belong in another project.

Prerequisites​

  • At least Editor access to the setting's project, and Owner or Editor access to the destination project.
  • To move a setting, every monitor that uses it must be free to move: not on a schedule and not using a file.

Steps​

Authentication settings have no Copy or Move button on their own page, so start from the sidebar.

  1. In the sidebar, under Project Administration, select Project Export / Import. The Manage Resources page opens (open it in the platform).

  2. Under Select the type of resource to copy or move, choose Authentication Setting.

  3. In Select the Authentication Setting(s), pick one or more settings.

  4. Under Copy or Move, select Copy or Move.

  5. Choose the destination project.

  6. Read the dry run that appears.

    Manage Resources with an authentication setting selected, Copy chosen, and the dry run warning that tokens will not be copied

  7. Select Copy or Move, then confirm.

What carries over​

Copy copies the setting only. The dry run warns "Tokens WILL NOT be copied": the copy has no tokens, so create or fetch a token for it in the destination project before a monitor can use it. No monitors are copied with it.

Move moves the setting, its tokens, and every monitor that uses it. Because those monitors move too, the move is blocked if any of them is on a schedule or uses a file. The dry run names each one. After the move, add the monitors to a schedule in the destination project.

Move monitors in bulk

Moving an authentication setting is a quick way to move every monitor that uses it in one step.
