Credentials & security

Secure share

A secure share is Hyperproxy’s expiring, use-limited proxy capability: it lets a recipient use an approved proxy path without receiving the stored upstream key. The share token itself is a sensitive bearer credential.

Also known as secure sharing.

Why it matters in practice

A share delegates a defined proxy capability without exposing the stored upstream API credential, and expiry or use limits bound how long that delegation remains available. Anyone holding the share token may be able to use its permissions, so the token itself needs protection and revocation planning.

Example

An operator creates a short-lived share for a test proxy and sends its capability through an approved channel to a teammate.
