Create an alias group to organize secrets and define where they are stored in ServiceNow.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin or cryptographic_manager

## Procedure

1. Navigate to All, type sys_secret_alias_group.list into the search box and select Enter.  
   Note:  
   Two alias groups are included in the base system: mid-creds and outbound-security.
2. Select New.
3. Fill out the fields as shown in the following table.  
   {#usg-create-alias-group__entry__2}

   | Field | Value |
   |-|-|
   | Alias Field | Select the field used to identify individual secrets within the target table. Example: name or hostname |
   | Filter Mode | Select none (default) for instance-level access or mid_scoped to restrict access to MID Servers only. |
   | Target Table | Select the physical table containing the secrets you want to manage. Example: discovery_credentials. |
   | Glide Access Policy | Select configurable (default) to permit configured access or lockdown to deny all access to this alias group. |
   | Alias Group Name | Enter a logical group name for your alias group. This name is used when retrieving secrets through the APIs. Example: prod_db_credentials |
   | Value Field | Select the field containing the secret value from the dropdown. The asterisk option (\*) returns the full credential object. Available options are dynamic based on the target table selected. |
   [ ]

4. Select Submit.

## What to do next

Create an identity group to define which members should have access to the alias group. See [Create an identity group](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/fPakl6GfJwIczc1wNvgPGQ "Create a custom identity group to manage access for a specific set of members.").
