Use Secret Vault
Stores sensitive credentials for this connection in the secrets manager that is configured for your organization.
This property appears only if secrets manager is set up for your organization.
When you enable the secret vault in the connection, you can select which credentials that the Secure Agent retrieves from the secrets manager. If you don't enable this option, the credentials are stored in the repository or on a local Secure Agent, depending on how your organization is configured.
Note: If you’re using this connection to apply data access policies through pushdown or proxy services, you cannot use the Secret Vault configuration option.
For information about how to configure and use a secrets manager, see Secrets manager configuration.

The name of the runtime environment where you want to run tasks.
You can specify a Secure Agent or a Hosted Agent.

For example, in <https://us19.admin.mailchimp.com>, us19 is the server prefix.
API Key

The role of the user who generates the API key determines the access to each Mailchimp endpoint.
