The access request feature allows a secret to require approval prior to accessing the secret. Note the following:

  • Establishing a workflow model, the user must request access from the approval group or groups.
  • An email is sent to everyone in the approval groups, notifying them of the request.
  • The request can be approved or denied by any members of the approval groups. Approvals can be set using the setting Require Approval Type to control who requires approval.
  • Access is granted for a set time period.
  • If Owners and Approvers also Require Approval is enabled, then even owners or those in an approval group needs to request access.
  • Requesters cannot approve their own requests.
