Working With Target Credentials
Each of the target privilege levels are assigned actions that can be performed whenever the privilege is assigned to a role or user.
See Target Actions and Privileges.
The Target Credentials page is used to verify credentials.
Depending on what actions you want to perform, you may be required to enter host credentials in the Target Credentials page.
If desired, you can select the Saved Preferred Credentials check box, and the system will not prompt for credentials the next time you initiate the action for this target (when you are the current user in Enterprise Manager).
When u r creating a new target or discovering an existing target, you can choose to select the preferred credentials or the named credentials. The credential that you select becomes the preferred and monitoring credential for the discovered or newly created targets.
