StackGen Settings

For Platform and DevOps Engineers
Important

With the July 2025 release, Teams has been renamed to Projects across the StackGen platform. This change reflects our broader vision of enabling cross-functional collaboration around infrastructure, code, and compliance workflows under clearly scoped project workspaces. All existing functionality remains the same and only the terminology has been updated to better align with how you organize and manage appStacks, modules, and cloud environments in real-world settings. You’ll now see Projects wherever Teams was previously referenced in the UI, CLI, and documentation.

The Settings page in StackGen provides a structured way to configure profile, user roles, security, collaboration, and governance.

Navigating to the Settings Page​

To navigate to the StackGen Settings page:

  1. Click the dropdown menu next to your Username.
  2. Select Settings.

The StackGen settings page is grouped into the following sections:

Let's look at these sections in detail.

Projects Assigned​

Click to view

The Projects Assigned dropdown lets you view the projects that you've been assigned to. Use this drop-down to switch between projects and create your infrastructure that is aligned with the policies and configurations assigned to the project.

Personal Workspace​

Consider using your personal workspace when you're working on personal appStacks that you don't want to share with anyone else in your organization. You can organize multiple appStacks, assign policies, and generate IaC within a personal workspace. These are not exclusive of your role and accesses applied by your Administrator or DevOps.

Secret Store​

Click to view

You can select a project from the Projects drop-down and then create the Secret Store.

Secret Store

The secret store lets you:

  • Securely store sensitive credentials for your SCM provider.
  • Share your secret store with your projects without compromising your credentials.
note

Secrets will be created under the respective projects you select from the Projects drop-down while creating the secret store. For example, let's say you create a secret within Project A and share it with Project B,C, and D:

  • If you navigate to Project B from the Projects drop-down and delete the shared secret via the ellipsis ⋮ icon under the Actions column, the secret will no longer be shared with Project B but will still be available under Project A,C, and D.
  • If you delete the shared secret from Project A, it will also be deleted from Projects B, C, and D.
