Tower Agent credentials

Tower Agent enables Seqera Platform to launch pipelines on HPC clusters that do not allow direct access through an SSH client. Tower Agent authenticates a secure connection with Seqera using a Tower Agent credential.

Tower Agent sharing

You can share a single Tower Agent instance with all members of a workspace. Create a Tower Agent credential, with Shared agent enabled, in the relevant workspace. All workspace members can then use this credential (Connection ID + Seqera access token) to use the same Tower Agent instance.

Create a Tower Agent credential

  • From an organization workspace: Go to the Credentials > Add Credentials.
  • From your personal workspace: From the user menu, go to Your credentials > Add credentials.
