Infisical is an [open-source](https://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source), [end-to-end encrypted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_encryption) secret management platform that enables teams to easily store, manage, and sync
|
|
application configuration and secrets like API keys, database credentials, and environment variables across applications and infrastructure.
|
|
It also has secret scanning capabilities for detecting leaked secrets in codebases.
|
|
|
|
This quickstart provides an overview of functionalities offered by Infisical.
|
|
|
|
## Managing your Organization
|
|
|
|
When you first make an account with Infisical, you also create a new **organization** where you are assigned the `admin` role by default.
|
|
From there, you can invite external members to the organization and start creating **projects** to house secrets.
|
|
|
|
### Projects
|
|
|
|
The **Projects** page shows you all the projects that you have access to within your organization.
|
|
Here, you can also create a new project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Members
|
|
|
|
The **Members** page lets you add or remove external members to your organization.
|
|
Note that you can configure your organization in Infisical to have members authenticate with the platform via protocols like SAML 2.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Managing your Projects
|
|
|
|
As mentioned before, projects house secrets which are further organized into environments such as development, testing and production.
|
|
A project can be anything from a single application to a collection of micro-services that you wish to manage secrets for.
|
|
|
|
### Secrets Overview
|
|
|
|
The **Secrets Overview** screen provides a bird's-eye view of all the secrets in a project and is useful for comparing secrets and identifying missing ones across environments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the above image, you can already see that:
|
|
- `STRIPE_API_KEY` is missing from the **Staging** environment.
|
|
- `JWT_SECRET` is missing from the **Production** environment.
|
|
- `BAR` is `EMPTY` in the **Production** environment.
|
|
|
|
### Dashboard
|
|
|
|
The secrets dashboard lets you manage secrets for a specific environment in a project.
|
|
Here, developers can [override secrets](//project#personal-overrides), [version secrets](/documentation/platform/secret-versioning), [rollback projects to any point in time](/documentation/platform/pit-recovery), and much more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Integrations
|
|
|
|
The integrations page provides native integrations to sync secrets from a project environment to a [host of ever-expanding integrations](/integrations/overview).
|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
Depending on your infrastructure setup and compliance requirements, you may or may not prefer to use these native integrations since they break end-to-end encryption (E2EE).
|
|
|
|
You will learn about various ways to integrate with Infisical and maintain E2EE in subsequent quickstart sections.

|
### Members
|
|
|
|
The members page lets you add/remove members to/from a project and provision them access to environments via roles. By default, Infisical provides the `admin`, `developer`, and `viewer` roles
|
|
which you can assign to members.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's it for the platform quickstart! — We encourage you to continue exploring the documentation to gain a deeper understanding of the extensive features and functionalities that Infisical has to offer.
