I’m calling a webservice to read from the termstore. This actions requires credentials in the action itself. Is it possible to place this action in a group, leave the credentials empty and execute as the workflow owner (farm admin)? Or is it possible to work with some kind of labels to prevent the use of static credentials in the action?

Hi ​@Bob_S,

A username and password are required for this action.

If you are worried about the credentials being seen, you can use a workflow constant to conceal the information from anyone browsing the workflow design.
