RSM needs to acquire and cache your credentials to be able to submit jobs to an HPC resource on your behalf. RSM's direct integration with Ansys applications and built-in caching capability automates this process to a great extent, and eliminates the need to manually define user accounts in RSM.

Each user account is associated with a specific configuration defined in RSM, and therefore tied to the RSM queues defined in the configuration. In addition to auto-account creation, you can create a user account directly in RSM, and apply the account to an RSM configuration.

When you submit a job to RSM from Workbench for the first time, RSM will prompt you to specify credentials for accessing the HPC resource associated with the chosen RSM queue. RSM will validate and cache the credentials, and there will be no need to specify credentials again unless your password changes. See Credential Caching from Workbench.
