External Credential

Definition of the authentication protocol and principals used by named credentials, with access granted via permission sets.

Definition

External credentials separate authentication from the endpoint. Principals (named or per-user) are mapped to permission sets so only authorized users can make callouts with them.

Exam tip

Users need the external credential principal granted through a permission set to make the callout.
