Request Operations on the Home Tab

This section discusses typical usage for a user regarding access requests while on the Home tab.

From the Home tab you can view access requests, cancel your own requests, or approve or deny access requests for secrets.

Click on the name of a recent secret to go to it, or you can launch the secret directly from Slack. Launching from Slack supports multiple launchers and user prompts.

Searching for Secrets

From any conversation, you can click the lightning bolt shortcut button (if it is enabled) and select Search Secrets.

This returns the top 3 results.

Processing Approval Messages

If a new access request is made by a user in Secret Server and you are an approver, a message is sent by the Secret Server Bot, which you can immediately approve or deny.

These messages are ephemeral, so they will not stay around and clutter your conversations. If you miss one, that request stays available on the Home tab. Approvers will also receive a message if the requesting user cancels the request.

The requesting user will receive a message confirming if the request was approved or denied. If approved, the message also includes basic secret details and the option to launch the secret (if applicable).

Approved:

Denied:

If an approval was previously approved before you could approve it, click approve or deny immediately to change the message to explain the current state.
