Secrets
Secrets are encrypted key-value pairs that can be used to store sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, API tokens, keys, or any string value. Resource admins create the root of a hierarchy by creating top-level secret folders, while security admins implement policies including Access Requests and MFA conditions for accessing secrets.
How secrets work in Okta Privileged Access
-
Resource admin creates an organization structure by establishing a hierarchy of top-level secret folders to manage secrets. See Secret folders.
-
Security administrators create policies that permit access to secrets and nested secrets within the hierarchy. See Create or update a security policy
-
Okta Privileged Access users can create, read, update, or delete secrets within the top-level folder they've been granted access to, using either the user interface or CLI. See Create and manage secrets
