Basic Facts

2. In the window that is enabled in the General, configure in the Basic Data section Information such as: Name and description.

Package Distribution

3. In the Package Distribution, define the type of operating system on which you are going to distribute (Windows, Linux or Mac), select the package and the profile of the agent to distribute, or create a new package by clicking Create Packages (see Creating Software Packages).

⚐ Note: In software distributions, you can select packages created from three different actions:

- Execution: This type of action consists of running software on the devices. Configuring the silent installation command
- Copy: This type of action consists of copying any type of file or executable to the devices. When you select a copy-type package in the distribution project settings, you must specify the path on which you want to save it.
- Registration keys: This type of action involves creating, updating, or deleting registry keys on devices. When distributing the registry key, the agent opens the file and performs the action as it comes in it.

Credentials

4. In the Credentials, you can search for credentials that have already been created (Credentials), or you can add a new one by clicking Create Credential.

⚐ Note: Credentials must be created with the following structure: Domain\User. If the credentials do not include a domain, enter only the user and the machine’s hostname will be used internally. The commands are executed in the user’s security context and with the corresponding profile load. If the user does not have permissions to perform any action required by the command, the command will fail.

Notifications
