Actions7
Overview
This node interacts with the Akeyless API to create a folder within the Akeyless secret management system. It allows users to specify the folder name and its accessibility type (Regular or Personal). This operation is useful for organizing secrets into folders for better management and access control.
Use Case Examples
- Creating a new folder named 'project_secrets' with regular accessibility to organize secrets related to a specific project.
- Creating a personal folder for storing user-specific secrets that should not be shared with others.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Folder Name | The name of the folder to be created, required for folder creation. |
| Accessibility | The accessibility type of the folder, which can be 'Regular' or 'Personal' to control access permissions. |
| Additional Fields | Optional additional settings such as request timeout in milliseconds. |
Output
JSON
json- The response data from the Akeyless API after creating the folder, typically including confirmation details or folder metadata.
Dependencies
- Requires Akeyless API credentials for authentication, including either a token or Access ID and Access Key.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues include authentication failures if credentials are missing or incorrect, resulting in errors indicating failure to obtain a token.
- Timeout errors may occur if the request takes longer than the specified timeout period; increasing the timeout in additional fields can help.
- Errors related to unknown operations will occur if an unsupported operation is specified; ensure 'createFolder' is selected.
