Verification

This topic provides steps to verify that the integration of Slack with Secret Server works.

Use Case: Request Operations on the Home Tab

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

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

2. 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.

Use Case: 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.

Use Case: Processing Approval Messages

When a user submits an access request in Secret Server, approvers receive a message from the Secret Server Bot to approve or deny the request.

These messages are ephemeral and will not 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 someone else already approved or denied the request before you, click Approve or Deny to update the message and show the current status.
