Create a secret

Create a Secret to store sensitive information such as passwords, tokens, SSH keys, and other DevOps tools’ credentials. The platform will then access the tools based on the permissions associated with the Secret. For example, if a Secret that used to integrate a tool can only be used to access project A in GitLab, then after A is allocated to platform project A’, project members can only manage code and create pipelines in DevOps for project A in GitLab.
