Create a secret

Creating a secret allows scripts to access login credentials and other sensitive information without exposing those credentials directly in code.

Create a secret

Navigate to the System navigation menu and click Secrets, then click + Create Secret. The Create New Secret dialog appears.

Populate the form:

1. Name: The unique identifier for the secret. It can contain mixed case and spaces.
2. Description: A description of what the secret represents.
3. Value: The secret string value. Once set, it cannot be read by again using the interface (but is available to scripts)
4. Expires At: To set up an expiring secret, populate this field.

Click Save. The secret is set.

🛈 Use the Iris API functions SetSecret(), GetSecret() and DeleteSecret() to manipulate secrets in scripts.
