# Set up secured values

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.

### Steps

1. Click **Data quality management**.
2. Click **Secured value**.
3. Click **New**.
4. In the **Key** field, type a unique name for the secured value.
5. In the **Description** field, type a value.
6. In the **Secured value** field, enter the applicable secret.
7. Close the page.
