Editing Secrets

A secret can only be edited by a user with the Owner of Editor Role Type permissions for the secret.

NOTE: As a root user, the built-in default admin user of Syteca has the Owner Role Type permissions for all secrets, and is therefore able to edit all secrets added by other Syteca users.

To edit a secret, do the following:

1. Log in to the Management Tool.

2. Click the Password Management navigation link (on the left).

3. Click anywhere on the required secret in the list of secrets displayed in the grid.

4. In the Edit Secret pop-up window that opens, edit the secret in a similar way as when adding a new secret, except that the following functionality is also available:

5. Click the Save button (in the bottom right) to save any changes made.
