As the ADMIN user, you can attach the credential created in Graph Studio to a notebook. You can then access the secret in a Python paragraph.

1. Click open a notebook in the Notebooks page.
2. Click the Credential icon on the top left of the page.

   The Attach credentials window opens as shown:

   The Attach new credential window opens as shown.

4. Enter the Credential Alias and Credential Description.
5. Click Select and choose a secret from the list.
6. Click Attach.
   The newly added credential gets attached to the notebook.
7. Access the secret in a Python paragraph by referencing it using the alias (provided earlier) as shown.

   Caution:

   The following code snippet is for illustrative purposes only. It is recommended that you do not print secrets in plain text in a paragraph output to maintain confidentiality.

   %python
   from ds_interpreter_client.context.ds_context import PyDataStudioContext
    
   ds = PyDataStudioContext()
   print('My secret: ' + ds.get_credential('my_secret'))

   The following shows the output on running the preceding code:

8. Optionally, share the notebook with another graph user by clicking Share Notebook in the notebook toolbar at the top of the page.
   Note that sharing the notebook with any permission allows the graph user to run the Python code in the previous step successfully. However, the user cannot view or attach the credential to their notebooks.

   Also, if you do not wish the user to modify the paragraph, then ensure that you do not grant Modify Paragraph permission. Alternatively, you can update the notebook state as Non-editable. See Notebook States for more information.
