You can set up secured values to store secrets at a central place in Data quality studio. You can , for example, set up a secured value for a license key or access token.

Benefits of using secured values are:

• One place to maintain secrets. For example, you can use a secret in several web services. If the secret expires, you only update the secured value instead of updating the secret separately for each applicable web service.
• Secrets are not shown or visible where these are applied using secured values.

In Data quality studio, you can use secured values as a parameter for web services.
