 Description   
 We have system administrator which can edit settings at root level. Then we have project administrators that are allowed to the edit settings at respective project levels. The system administrator wants to create a secrete variable that the projects can use, but don't the project administrators to see its value. Can you recommend on how to do that in QuikcBuild?

 Thanks,
Ptrinh

Even if we hide secret value in the UI, user can always print value of the script to a file via a build step and check that file content later.

Thank you for your response. Then the question is that Is there any way that system admin can hide secrete value such password of SSL certificate from project administrators?

There is no way to do this, as long as the password can be used by project in build.

QuickBuild's variable has an option called 'Inheritable' . It would be great if there is another option for inherit permission. So system admin can set this permission from root level whether project admins can view or can not review the secrete value.
 Thanks,
