Create a Secrets Project

What are ByteHide Projects?

ByteHide projects are the foundation for organizing and managing your application secrets and scans. Projects allow you to:

  • Organize your secrets by application or service
  • Manage multiple environments (development, staging, production)
  • Control access for team members with different permission levels
  • Configure alerting for secret detection and security events
  • View scanning history and detected secrets across your codebase
  • Connect with source control for automated secret detection

Each project provides a unique token that authenticates your applications and scanners with the ByteHide service.
