Step 12: Secret Access and Workflow

Sometimes, depending on your scenario, you want to add extra protections to highly sensitive secrets. Secret Server has a access request and workflow features:

• Secret Check-Outs: Grant access to a single user
• Basic Secret-Access Requests: Require approval prior to accessing a secret for a defined time period
• Advanced Secret-Access Requests with Workflow Templates: Require multi-level and multi-user approval prior to accessing a secret for a defined time period
• Secret DoubleLocks: Add another security layer by encrypting secret data with a supplemental custom encryption key that is only accessible with an additional password, regardless of regular permissions.
