Actions7
Overview
This node interacts with the Akeyless API to perform various secret management operations, including deleting items. Specifically, the 'Delete Items' operation allows users to delete one or more items by specifying their path or name. This is useful for managing and cleaning up secrets or other stored items in Akeyless. Practical examples include automating the removal of outdated or compromised secrets.
Use Case Examples
- Deleting a secret by specifying its path to ensure it is no longer accessible.
- Automating cleanup of multiple secrets or items in a folder by specifying their paths.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
