Scripted Actions - Account-Level Variables

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.

• This feature is especially helpful if you want to pass sensitive information to a scripted action without passing it via clear text.

Inherited Variables

Inherited variables have the following features:

• Stored in the Nerdio Manager database.

• They cannot be removed, but they can be overridden.

• Can be passed to account-level scripted actions, policies, and global apps using the $InheritedVars.Variable_Name variable name.

Environmental Variables

Environmental variables are retrieved from the customer environment.

• Can be passed to account-level scripted actions and policies using the $EnvironmentalVars.Variable_Name variable name.

• Environmental variables are retrieved from your customer environment, so you can't modify them here.
