Secrets management for Azure IoT Operations uses Azure Secret Store to sync the secrets from an Azure Key Vault and store them on the edge as Kubernetes secrets. When you enabled secure settings during deployment, you selected an Azure Key Vault for secret management. It is in this Key Vault where all secrets to be used within Azure IoT Operations are stored. Azure IoT Operations instances work with only one Azure Key Vault, multiple key vaults per instance isn't supported.

-**Add from Azure Key Vault**: synchronizes an existing secret in key vault down to the edge in Azure Key Vault that wasn't synchronized before. Selecting this option shows you the list of secret references in the selected key vault. Use this option if you created the secret in the key vault beforehand.

You can delete synced secrets as well. When you delete a synced secret, it only deletes the secret from the edge, and doesn't delete the secret from key vault. Before deleting a synced secret, make sure that all references to the secret from Azure IoT Operations components are removed.
