Issue

The user can view only the Username for their Secret, but not the Password.
 

Resolution

  1. Verify that the user has a minimum of "View" permission on the secret, which can be configured at the folder level and inherited by all secrets within that folder.
  • Go to the secret, click the "Sharing" tab, and check the permissions assigned to the user or group.
 
  2. If the secret has a launcher, check if the "Hide Launcher Password" setting is enabled.
  • Go to the secret, click on the "Security" tab, and ensure the "Hide Launcher Password" setting is not enabled.
 
  3. Verify if the user has the "View Launcher Password" role permission.
  • Go to Admin > Roles, select the role assigned to the user, and verify that the "View Launcher Password" permission is enabled.
 

Cause

The user cannot view the password field because they lack the necessary permissions, the secret has a launcher with the "Hide Launcher Password" setting enabled, and they do not have the "View Launcher Password" role permission.
