Secret credentials in template

Is there any way to use a secret in a template to authenticate against a provider? Only thing I found in the docs is that I should not directly put it into the template as I have to assume users having access to all templates in cleartext. Can I set secrets somewhere (e.g. coder environment variables) and use them inside of my template?

If I've overseen something in the docs please point me to it

Hi There,
You have two options

1. Use

variable "my-secret" {
  sensitive = true
  description = "My AWS KEY"
}

variable "my-secret" {
  sensitive = true
  description = "My AWS KEY"
}

or
2. Most providers allow authenticating if the secret is available as an environment variable. So you can set the secret as an environment variable on the Coder host without anything in your template.
