Sas studio on Viya - Best way to predefine libnames

[34reqrwe]

We are running Sas studio 4.3 on Viya 3.3 - I would like to know how to define libnames such that when users login they are predefined. 

Similar to defining them in metadata, but there is no Management console in Viya.

The option we are using at the moment is defining them in the autoexec. This requires having the (encrypted) password to be present in the autoexec. Is there a better way to achieve this ?

thanks

I received below answer from TS:

SAS Studio is very much like the SAS Display Manager environment if you are not using CAS in that you need to assign the LIBNAME statements either in your code or in the autoexec file
