Nerdio Support

November 22, 2023 09:52

Nerdio Manager allows you to manage Account-level Secure and Inherited variables.

Secure Variables

Secure variables have the following features:

Stored in the Key Vault.
Can be passed to account-level scripted actions using the $SecureVars.Variable_Name variable name.
Only available for scripted actions.

Inherited Variables

Inherited variables have the following features:

Stored in the Nerdio Manager database.
Can be passed to account-level scripted actions, policies, and global apps using the $InheritedVars.Variable_Name variable name.

Tips:

This feature is especially helpful if you want to pass sensitive information to a scripted action without passing it via clear text.
See Scripted Actions - MSP-Level Secure and Inherited Variables for details about MSP-level variables.
Configuration drift ignores the account-level Inherited variables because you have intentionally created drift by defining different variables for each account.

To manage account-level secure and inherited variables:

At the Account level, navigate to Settings > Portal.
In the Secure and Inherited variables for scripted actions tile, select the action (add, edit, or remove) you wish to perform.
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.
- Policy type: Select the policy type.
- Windows scripts: Optionally, from the drop-down list, select which Windows scripted action(s) the variable is passed to.
- Azure runbooks: Optionally, from the drop-down list, select which Azure Runbook(s) the variable is passed to.
When you have entered the desired information, select OK.
