Scripted Actions Global Secure Variables

Nerdio Manager allows you to manage Global Secure Variables. These secure variables can be passed to scripted actions or shell apps. The variables are stored securely in the Azure Key Vault and can be passed to scripted actions using the $SecureVars.Variable_Name variable name.

Tip: This feature is especially helpful if you want to pass sensitive information to a scripted action without passing it via clear text.

To manage global secure variables:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Nerdio environment.

  2. In the Secure variables tile, select the action (add, edit, or remove) you wish to perform.

  3. To add or edit a global secure variable, enter the following information:

    • Name: Type the name of the variable.

      Note: The variable name must be between 1 and 20 alphanumeric characters.

    • Value: Type the variable's value.

    • Allow usage within shell apps: Select this option to make the variable available in Shell Apps.

    • Pass variable to specified scripted actions only: Optionally, select this option to only pass this variable to the scripted action(s) specified below. When unselected, it is passed to all scripted actions.

      • Scripted actions: From the drop-down list, select which scripted action(s) the variable is passed to.

        Note: The variable is listed in the Secure Variables column of each selected scripted action in the Azure runbooks window.

  4. When you have entered the desired information, select OK.
