When calling the rest api endpoint family Site management, we previously returned the site secret in the response. This is a security risk and therefore we have removed it. Also, it was possible to set the secret via the rest-api edit or create endpoints. This is not possible via the UI, so we have also removed this possibility from the rest-api.
