Daytona connection

Daytona runs sandboxes that read organization-scoped secrets at runtime. Infisical connects to Daytona with an API key, which is used to push secrets into a Daytona organization through the Daytona secret sync. A Daytona API key belongs to exactly one organization. The key you choose therefore decides which organization your secrets are written to.

Prerequisites

A Daytona account with an organization you can manage

Create a Daytona API key

Open API key settings

In the Daytona dashboard, select API Keys in the sidebar, then select Create Key.

Grant the key permission to manage secrets

Give the key a name. Under Permissions, select Restricted, then set Secrets to Manage. Full Access also works.Infisical needs this permission to create, update, and delete secrets. A key without it is rejected when you create the connection.

Copy the key

Select Create. Daytona shows the key once, immediately after creation. Copy it and store it securely. You need it in the next section.
