Secrets Vault in WorkFusion Studio
Secrets Vault is an Intelligent Automation Cloud Business component designed for storing sensitive information.
Secrets Vault contains secret entries – secured data, e.g., credentials, that can be used in your recordings and scripts. Mind that these data is not shown in recordings, logs, system files, or bot configs. Thus, Secrets Vault allows sharing scripts with other users without exposing confidential data.

- set up secret entries in WorkFusion Studio > Preferences
