Details Include:

1. **Vault Name** - Descriptive Name for the Credential Vault
2. **Instructions** - Any Instructions to be given to Bug Hunters on how to go about using the assigned credentials
3. **Vault Type** - There are mainly two types of **Vault Type - Static & Dynamic** more about them below.

### 3. Choosing a Suitable Vault Type

#### Static Vault

Credentials in these vaults are non-assignable and if claimed the whole credential set will be available to the Bug Hunter.

Generally a static vault would be created in-case testing credentials remain the same for a long period of time.

#### Dynamic Vault

Credentials in these vaults are assignable and only one particular credential set can be claimed by the Bug Hunter

Generally a dynamic vault would be created in-case testing credentials need to be curated for a specific privilege level for a particular user.

There are **Assignment Preferences** for a **Dynamic Vault:**

1. **Auto-Assign Credentials:** When a Bug Hunter requests to claim a credential set, any unassigned credential set is automatically assigned to the Bug Hunter. Incase there is no credential to claim the company would be e-mailed to add more credential sets.
2. **Request Based Assign:** When a Bug Hunter requests to claim a credential set, a notification to the company is sent in order to assign a credential set to the Bug Hunter.

{% hint style="success" %}
And That's It! :tada: Congratulations you've successfully created a **Credential Vault.**
{% endhint %}

Now Up Next is adding credential sets to a Vault
