Ability to inherit auth credentials

Open hafijulali opened this issue 3 months ago • 2 comments

Tell us about the task you want to perform and are unable to do so because the feature is not available

Currently, we have ability to add auth credentials but it only applies to per request.

Describe the solution/feature you'd like us to add

We need to have some way to inherit auth credentials, either on the basis of environment or creating generic credentials which can be then used in multiple requests.

Any other feedback you would like to provide regarding the site

This feature is similar to other api testing clients like postman and insomnia

@animator I suggest adding environment/global-level credentials so requests can inherit auth by default, but still allow overrides per request. The Authentication Manager will pick credentials in order: request, environment, then global.

I can work on this issue.
