# Adding Credentials Parameter to Your Script

You may add multiple custom parameters of the *Credentials* type. To pass the credentials to the script, Orchestrator uses the following parameter name convention.

In the script file, a parameter with the *Credentials* type will split into 2 parameters: the first one will contain a user name and the second one will contain a password. For example, if you add a credential parameter named *SQLCreds*, Orchestrator will pass it to the script as *$SQLCredsUsername* and *$SQLCredsPassword*.

```
Param(
[string]$SQLCredsUsername,
[string]$SQLCredsPassword
)
```

::: important

The statement must contain a comma-separated list of variables prefixed with a data type. Default values are optional.
