Secrets

Secrets in Secret Server are individually named sets of sensitive information, such as passwords, API keys, SSH keys, and other authentication credentials. These secrets are created using secret templates, which define the fields, launchers, and remote password changers for different types of secrets. Secret Server ensures that all secret data is securely encrypted before being stored in the database, and it maintains a detailed audit trail for access and history. Secrets can be centrally managed through sharing settings and folder structures, allowing for inheritance of permissions from parent folders. This robust management system helps organizations securely store, manage, and control access to privileged credentials, reducing the risk of data breaches and ensuring compliance with security policies.
