Static Secrets are key/value pairs created and updated manually, such as passwords and API tokens. Text-based items can be stored in their original format, including configuration files, JSON formatted data, and YAML formatted data.

The typical process for working with Static Secrets includes:

1. Create a Static Secret: Start by defining the name and value of the Static Secret.

2. Add a Static Secret to an Access Role: Allow clients to access the Static Secret by adding it to a role with the appropriate permissions.

3. Retrieve a Static Secret Value: Get the value of a Static Secret when needed.

4. Sharing Static Secrets: Temporarily share with external users who are not part of your organization or do not have general access permissions.

If necessary, a Static Secret value can be updated or have multiple versions. See Update and Version Static Secrets.

When a Static Secret becomes obsolete, it can be deleted.
