Secrets in Fabric

Hi All,

Is there any restriction on who all have access to "Manage connections and gateways" page in settings available?

There are 2 reasons behind this questions:

If everybody has access, then credentials details gets exposed to everybody in org. which obviously is not desired due to security concerns.
In Azure world, we used to store it in azure key vaults, and the ADF linked services ( connections in fabric) used to access credentials from the key vault. So, is there any similar solution in Fabric already there or coming soon?

Well, one good thing i found is azure key vaults can be used in fabric notebook items.

Key vaults are essential, as it not only safely secures the keys and secrets but also helps in maintaining and managing them with features like expiry date and versioning to track back history.

Let me know your thoughts on this, in future, will it be Fabric + Azure Key Vault, or Fabric will get an in-built secrets management service?
