 Use the **Project Creation** drop-down menu to set which users can create projects. Select **Everyone** to allow all users to create projects. Select **Admin Only** to allow only users with the Administrator role to create projects.

+## Using OIDC CLI secret
+
+Having authenticated via OIDC SSO and onboarded to Harbor, you can use Docker/Helm CLI to access Harbor to read/write the artifacts.
+As the CLI cannot handle redirection for SSO, we introduced `CLI secret`, which is only available when Harbor's authentication mode 
+is configured to OIDC based.  
+After logging into Harbor, click the drop down list to view user's profile:
+![user_profile](img/user_profile.png)
+
+You can copy your CLI secret via the dialog of profile:
+![profile_dlg](img/profile_dlg.png)
+
+After that you can authenticate using your user name in Harbor that you set during onboard process, and CLI secret as the password
+with Docker/Helm CLI, for example:
+```sh
+docker login -u testuser -p xxxxxx jt-test.local.goharbor.io
+
+``` 
+
+When you click the "..." icon in the profile dialog, a button for generating new CLI secret will appear, and you can generate a new 
+CLI secret by clicking this button.  Please be reminded one user can only have one CLI secret, so when a new secret is generated, the
+old one becomes invalid at once.
+
+**NOTE**:
+Under the hood the CLI secret is associated with the ID token, and Harbor will try to refresh the token, so the CLI secret will
+be valid after th ID token expires. However, if the OIDC Provider does not provide refresh token or the refresh fails for some 
+reason, the CLI secret will become invalid.  In that case you can logout and login Harbor via SSO flow again so Harbor can get a 
+new ID token and the CLI secret will work again.
