Using AWS Secrets Manager secrets instead of database credentials in Amazon QuickSight - Amazon QuickSight
   Intended audience: Amazon QuickSight Administrators and Amazon QuickSight developers 

AWS Secrets Manager is a secret storage service that you can use to protect database credentials, API keys, and other secret information. Using a key helps you ensure that the secret can't be compromised by someone examining your code, because the secret isn't stored in the code. For an overview, see the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide.

Amazon QuickSight administrators can grant QuickSight read-only access to secrets they create in Secrets Manager. These secrets can be used in place of database credentials when creating and editing data sources using the QuickSight API.

QuickSight supports using secrets with data source types that support credential pair authentication. Jira and ServiceNow are not currently supported.
