# Managing Secrets and ConfigMaps access for readonly users (AWS and GCP)

Configure readonly user access to both Kubernetes Secrets and ConfigMaps using the **AllowReadonlyK8sSecrets** flag. This setting applies to all readonly users, whether they are Administrators, Tenants, or Users.

1. From the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to **Administrator** -> **Systems Settings**.
2. Select the **System Config** tab, and click **Add**. The **Add Config** pane displays.<br>

3. In the **Config Type** list box, select **AppConfig**.
4. In the **Key** list box, select **Allow Readonly Users to view Kubernetes Secrets**.
5. In the **Value** field, enter **True** or **False**. A true value allows readonly users to view Kubernetes Secrets and ConfigMaps. A false value prohibits readonly users from viewing Kubernetes Secrets and ConfigMaps.
6. Click **Submit**. Readonly access to sensitive data in Kubernetes Secrets and ConfigMaps is configured.
