Using the Delinea Platform Interface

The platform's user interface is designed to make all platform functions highly visible and readily accessible.

Most features that were previously under Administration now appear under Settings.

Primary Left Navigation Menu

The options available in the left navigation menu vary depending on the services you subscribe to.

Secondary Navigation

The secondary navigation menu slides out to the right, providing access to all functions relevant to the primary navigation item. This provides quick access with less searching and fewer clicks.

Hover over a menu item

When you hover over a primary navigation menu item, the secondary navigation slides out, instantly displaying all functions related to the primary menu item. When you move your cursor away, the secondary menu slides back behind the primary menu.

Click a menu item

When you click a primary menu item, two things happen. First, the secondary menu slides out and remains open, even if you move your cursor away. Second, the page associated with the top item on the secondary menu opens automatically to the right.

Once you've found the page you're looking for, you might not need to see the secondary menu anymore. To give you more room to see the page, click the expansion control at the bottom of the left navigation menu to slide the secondary menu back under the primary menu.

Global Search

The platform Search bar provides global access to find any content page and to many specific items across the platform including secretsClosed A piece of information that is stored and managed in the Delinea Secret Server vault. Typical secrets include privileged passwords on routers, servers, applications, and devices. Files can also be stored in secrets, such as private key files, SSL certificates, license keys, network documentation, Microsoft Word or Excel documents, and more. Secrets are derived from secret templates., assets, folders, and individual configuration items.

The individual toggle buttons within the search results frame can be clicked to filter the results to specific sections, which helps to hone in on the desired result if multiple different items share a similar name.

Some context-sensitive actions such as launching can be executed directly from the search results.
