Configuring Access Requests

To enable Access Request for a secret, navigate to the Admin>Secret Policy and select the related policy from the list.

  1. Select the Security tab and click the Edit button.

  2. In the Require Approval for Accessdropdown select the related option:

    • Approval not required - no approval is required from any roles.

    • Standard exceptions - owners, editors and approvers do not need approval.

    • Owners and Approvers - owners and approvers do not need approval.

    • Owners only - owners do not need approval.

    • Approval always required - always require approval from all roles.

Users need at least view access to the secret to be able to access the secret even with Access Request enabled. If the users do not have view permission they are unable to find the secret with search or browse.
The email configuration settings need setting up, including valid email addresses, for the users in the approval group for emailing to work.
