Add and Manage Access Keys

Access keys provide programmatic access as well as the ability to decrypt, edit, and create secrets from Locker CLI or Locker SDKs. You can have up to two active access keys at a time for a project. In Locker, an access key with Read or Write permission can have the following capabilities:

• Read: Has permission to retrieve all secrets belonging to a specific project from Locker CLI or Locker SDK.
• Write: Has permission to retrieve, create, and update all secrets belonging to a specific project from Locker CLI or Locker SDK.
