Hello, my question is about adding spider settings on scrapy cloud and if they are hidden or accessible to outside users? For example in my local environment I have my AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY variable hidden as an environment variable:

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = os.environ.get('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY') 

and I'm not sure how to do this once the project is deployed on scrapy cloud or if the settings are secure and it is not necessary (if I can put the key directly into spider settings) like so:

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'my secret access key'

Your project is not accessible to other users unless you add them on the list of members, so you can safely add this setting in the UI.
