Using secrets

When setting up secrets, you should:

• Enable AntiVirus Scan and apply an antivirus profile.

• Enable DLP Status and apply a DLP profile.

• Enable SSH Filter and apply an SSH filter profile.

• Enable Requires Checkout to get exclusive access to a secret for a limited time.

• Enable Requires Approval to Launch Secret and apply an approval profile.

  This ensures that the user sends out a request to approvers to get access to the secret.

• In the Permission tab, ensure that the permissions are set to the minimum before sharing the secret, e.g., set the permission to View before you share the secret.
