Scopes

Credentials in Jenkins can be created with 2 different "scopes" which determines where the credentials can be used:

• GLOBAL - This credential is available to the object on which the credential is associated and all objects that are children of that object. Typically you would use global-scoped credentials for things that are needed by jobs.
• SYSTEM - This credential is only available to the object on which the credential is associated. Typically you would use system-scoped credentials for things like email auth, slave connection, etc, i.e. where the Jenkins instance itself is using the credential. Unlike the global scope, this significantly restricts where the credential can be used, thereby providing a higher degree of confidentiality to the credential.

The credentials created with the jenkins_credentials resources are assigned a GLOBAL scope.
