Secrets are a secure way to store sensitive data at the project level in Globant Enterprise AI. They are commonly used to configure Tools—for example, to store API keys or other confidential values that should not be visible to all users working on the project.
While Tool configurations are visible to anyone with access to the project, Secrets allow you to protect specific values by referencing them indirectly. For example, instead of entering an actual API key in the configuration, you can enter a placeholder such as "My Secret API Key". You then create a Secret with that exact name and store the actual value (e.g., '1234') in it.
To create a new Secret, you need to have a profile with administrative permissions and follow the steps below.
First, enter the Globant Enterprise AI Backoffice. On the left side of the screen, you can find the Backoffice menu. In this menu, click on Secrets.
Next, in the Project Dynamic Combo Box, select the project you want to work with (in this case, the Default one is used).
Once the Secrets Gallery is open, click on the CREATE NEW button in the top-left corner of the screen.
This opens the Secret Editor, where you can define the details of the new secret. In the General tab, complete the following fields:
- Name: Enter the exact name that will be referenced in the Tool configuration. It must match the name used in the parameter field (e.g., My Secret API Key).
- Value: Enter the sensitive value you want to store (e.g.,1234-5678-SECRET-KEY).
- Status: By default, this is set to Active, which means the secret is available and can be accessed by tools referencing it. You can choose a different status if needed:
- Active: The secret is available and can be used.
- Inactive: The secret is temporarily disabled and will not be used by any tool.
- Revoked: The secret is invalidated and must not be used (e.g., if it has been compromised).
After filling out the required fields in the General tab of the Secret Editor, click on the CONFIRM button located at the bottom left of the screen to finalize the creation.
Once confirmed, the Secret will appear in the Secrets Gallery for the selected project and will be ready to be referenced from your Tool configuration.
Since April 2025 release.
