Variable Hierarchy
Humanitec allows you to define Environment Variables and Secrets in a hierarchical way: on App level, Environment Level and Workload level. The highest hierarchical level is the App level. You can go to the App Settings Screen in each of your Apps and define Environment Variables that are important within the context of your App.
Environment Level
The hierarchical level following the App Level is the Environment level. In the Environment Settings Screen of each Environment you can define Environment Variables that are important within the context of that specific Environment.
To create or update shared values and secrets overrides, you will need to have the
Administrator role within your Organization or hold the Owner/ Developer role on the App. Learn more about RBAC in Humanitec here.UI

- Start on the Environment Settings Screen and navigate to the shared values and secrets overrides section.
