# Setting global config variables

noindex: true

Data Science & AI Workbench provides a secondary config map (`anaconda-enterprise-env-var-config`) that you can use to configure the platform. Any environment variables added to this config map will be available to all sessions, deployments, and scheduled jobs. This is a convenient alternative to using the Workbench CLI, as you can add any variable [supported by conda configuration](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/configuration/use-condarc.html#general-configuration).

To make global configuration changes to the platform:

1. Create a backup of your current configmap file, then edit your configurations by running the following commands:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="BYOK8s">
    Run the following commands from anywhere you have `kubectl` access to the cluster:

    ```sh theme={null}
    # Replace <NAMESPACE> with your Workbench cluster namespace
    kubectl get cm -n <NAMESPACE> anaconda-enterprise-env-var-config -o=jsonpath={.data."container-env-vars\.yml"} > ntainer-env-vars.yaml
    kubectl edit cm -n <NAMESPACE> anaconda-enterprise-env-var-config
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Gravity">
    Run the following commands in an interactive shell *on the master node*:

    ```sh theme={null}
    # Replace <NAMESPACE> with your Workbench cluster namespace
    sudo gravity enter
    kubectl get cm anaconda-enterprise-env-var-config -o yaml > anaconda-env-var-config.yaml
    kubectl edit cm -n <NAMESPACE> anaconda-enterprise-env-var-config
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

1. Make your changes to the file, then save it.
2. Restart all pods using the following command:

   ```sh theme={null}
   # Replace <NAMESPACE> with your Workbench cluster namespace
   kubectl delete -n <NAMESPACE> --wait=false $(kubectl get pods -o name|grep ap-)
   ```

<Tip>
  If something goes wrong with your configuration updates, you can restore your previous configurations by re-running the following commands:

  ```sh theme={null}
  # Replace <NAMESPACE> with your Workbench cluster namespace
  kubectl delete cm -n <NAMESPACE> anaconda-enterprise-env-var-config
  kubectl create cm -n <NAMESPACE> anaconda-enterprise-env-var-config --from-file anaconda-env-var-config.yml
  ```
