Collection-Level Authentication

RestIt supports collection-level authentication, giving you flexible control over how credentials are applied.

In a request's Authentication tab, you can either:

  • Inherit authentication from the parent collection, or
  • Define custom authentication specifically for the request.

This allows you to streamline shared credentials across requests while still supporting overrides when needed.
