I want to use Autodesk forge for my web application that allows my clients to save their model files and view them online. However, the problem I am facing is that the viewer is not unique for the clients as it runs on a client secret key. So, once I upload any model in the forge viewer, it appears to all the clients who are using it. So, how can I make sure that I only get the viewer that just opens the models that are present in the project of the client? Is there any way by which I won't have to use the access key so that the models do no get saved up alongside the viewer?

You have to implement user authentication and keep their files separate (e.g. separate buckets named ) - or at least know who should have access to what.
Authentication could be based on an Autodesk account as well if you wanted. Anyone can have such a thing for free.
I hope you are keeping the client secret on the server so the clients don't have access to it and only pass to the client an access token with scope viewables:read only - that could not be used e.g. to list the contents of buckets - see e.g. https://learnforge.autodesk.io/#/tutorials/viewmodels
