Key Manager Quotas

Overview

Key Manager quotas prevent individual projects from creating excessive secrets, containers, or orders. Default values are set platform-wide; administrators override them per project.

Administrator Access Required — This operation requires the admin role. Contact your Polystack administrator if you do not have sufficient permissions.

`secrets`	20	Secrets per project
