# resolve\_secret

> This function is defined in the [**secrets**](../modules/secrets) module.

Resolve a credential input to a :class:`SecretResolution`.

Backward compatible: a plain string is returned verbatim (with the existing
`$&#123;ENV&#125;` convention honoured), so plaintext configs keep working. A
:class:`SecretRef` (or its `&#123;"source", "id"&#125;` dict form) is resolved via
the matching resolver. A resolved value is registered for log redaction
unless `redact=False`.

## Signature

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
def resolve_secret(value: SecretInput) -> SecretResolution
```

## Parameters

<ParamField query="value" type="SecretInput" required={true}>
  No description available.

### Returns

<ResponseField name="Returns" type="SecretResolution">
  The result of the operation.
</ResponseField>
