About Secret Management

Secret Management allows you to set up and store your private credentials (database username/password, API keys), AWS secrets (access key ID, secret access key), or custom values in your account settings. You can use private credentials in a Capsule to access the required resources without worrying about how to protect them from other collaborators. Because your credentials are only accessible to you, this not only gives you the peace of mind when sharing your work, but also simplifies collaboration when collaborators only need to attach their own credentials to the same Capsule to get results. Currently, Code Ocean supports four types of secrets: AWS cloud credentials, database credentials, API credentials, custom keys.
