# Environment Secrets
> Securely store and access credentials across your workflows.
## Overview
Environment Secrets are global variables used for securely storing and accessing secure values across your workflows. For example, you can store a global authorization token for your API to use in all Request steps that send a request to your API.
**Note:** You must be an Admin to manage Environment Secrets. [Learn more](/managing-account/teams#managing-roles-and-permissions).
To set up Environment Secrets:
**1. Click on "Settings" in the sidebar, then click on "Environment Secrets".**
**2. Enter details for your new Environment Secret.**
Set **Key** to a descriptive and recognizable name. This easily identifies it in the variable menu.

Environment Secrets appear at the bottom of the variable menu. Selecting one uses the `Value` stored in the Environment Secret.
