 Secrets are exposed to your pipeline steps and plugins as uppercase environment variables and can therefore be referenced in the commands section of your pipeline.
 
+Woodpecker provides three different levels to add secrets to your pipeline. The following list shows the priority of the different levels. If a secret is defined in multiple levels, will be used following this priorities: Repository secrets > Organization secrets > Global secrets.
+
+1. **Repository secrets**: They are available to all pipelines of an repository.
+2. **Organization secrets**: They are available to all pipelines of an organization.
+3. **Global secrets**: Can be configured by an instance admin.
+   They are available to all pipelines of the **whole** Woodpecker instance and should therefore **only** be used for secrets that are allowed to be read by **all** users.
