Jenkins / JENKINS-57406 credentials plugin user guide is system-centric rather than user-centric Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Components: credentials-plugin Created: 2019-05-10 12:22 Environment: I am reading the Jenkins credentials plugin user guide to try to understand an issue I'm having with my Jenkins setup, and I am finding it extremely frustrating. The guide is written by someone(s?) who obviously understand the credentials plugin well, and the motivation behind it; unfortunately, it assumes that I want or need to understand everything about the plugin in order to do anything with it. I just want to use the thing, not learn the whys and wherefores of its creation. It has no internal links to facilitate navigation around the document; section headers are difficult to find while scrolling; detailed step-by-step screenshots are put next to overviews.
