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

ColumnDescription
DescriptionOptional user-provided description for the secret.
Secret IdUnique identifier generated by Entra ID.
Task StatusCurrent status of the task associated with the secret, if any.
Assigned ToUser responsible for managing or rotating the secret.
ExpirationExpiration 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:

  1. Click Generate new.
  2. Select an expiration period (for example, 180 days).
  3. Optionally provide a description.
  4. Click Let's do it to generate the secret.

The generated secret is immediately tracked by EasyLife 365 Identity for expiration and task automation.

Removing a Secret Professional

To delete an existing secret:

Credential Tasks

When a secret is expired or approaching expiration, EasyLife 365 Identity automatically creates a task.

Tasks allow teams to:

  • Track ownership and responsibility
  • Coordinate secret rotation
  • Document progress and decisions

Task Drawer

Opening a task displays a side panel where you can:

  • Assign the task to yourself or another user
  • Update the task status
