Secrets
Secrets are password-like credentials that apps use to authenticate. They are only applicable to App Registrations.
Secrets Tab
The Secrets tab displays all secrets associated with the selected app registration.
The list is presented in a table where:
- Columns are sortable and filterable.
- Each row represents a single secret.
- Action buttons are available at the end of each row.
Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Description | Optional user-provided description for the secret. |
| Secret Id | Unique identifier generated by Entra ID. |
| Task Status | Current status of the task associated with the secret, if any. |
| Assigned To | User responsible for managing or rotating the secret. |
| Expiration | Expiration date and visual status indicator (valid, expiring soon, expired). |
Expiration is visually highlighted to help prioritize actions:
- Red: expired or critical
- Yellow: expiring soon
- Green: valid
Row Actions
Each secret row includes two action buttons:
- Open task (tag icon) – Opens the task drawer to view or update task details.
- Delete (trash icon) – Removes the secret after confirmation.
Generating a New Secret Professional
To create a new secret:
