Secrets
This page describes secrets. Secure key value pair storage.
Secrets are a secure way to store and maintain sensitive values (e.g. credentials or API tokens) for use in the sandbox lifecycle scripts. Secrets are write-only, which prevents all users from reading their values. Secret values are only available in lifecycle scripts.
Secrets are defined on team level, allowing them to be used by multiple tracks. Secrets can only be created/updated by team Owners, and can be used by Content Creators.
