  • Workspace Owners, Super Admins, Admins, and Users

  • Secret Owners and Collaborators

  • Available in the Cerby web app, mobile, and web extension

  • NOTE: For the Cerby mobile app, read the article View a secret in the Cerby mobile app

All users with shared access to a secret, regardless of their workspace role, can view its details.

Additionally, as mentioned in the article Add a secret, you can configure an identity challenge to view a secret. In this case, all users with shared access, including Owners, must confirm their identity to view a secret.

To view a secret using the Cerby web app, you must complete the following steps:

  1. Log in to your corresponding Cerby workspace.

  2. Select the Secrets option from the left navigation drawer. The Secrets view is displayed.

  3. Click the secret card or the View icon from the corresponding secret card. The Secret dialog box is displayed with the content of the secret and the attachments.

    NOTE: If an identity challenge is configured, the Confirm your identity to continue dialog box is displayed. To confirm your identity, use one of Cerby's multi-factor authentication methods.

  4. Click the View () button next to the Secret field to show the secret content.

Now you are done.
