share_secret: Share a secret among some users.

In secret: Share Sensitive Information in R Packages

Description

Use this function to extend the set of users that have access to a secret. The calling user must have access to the secret as well.

Usage

share_secret(name, users, key = local_key(), vault = NULL)

Arguments

name	Name of the secret, a string that can contain alphanumeric characters, underscores, dashes and dots.
users	addresses of users that will have access to the secret. (See add_user()).
key	Private key that has access to the secret. (I.e. its corresponding public key is among the vault users.)
vault	Vault location (starting point to find the vault). To create a vault, use create_vault() or create_package_vault(). If this is NULL, then secret tries to find the vault automatically: If the secret.vault option is set to path, that is used as the starting point. Otherwise, if the R_SECRET_VAULT environment variable is set to a path, that is used as a starting point. Otherwise the current working directory is used as the starting point. If the starting point is a vault, that is used. Otherwise, if the starting point is in a package tree, the inst/vault folder is used within the package. If no vault can be found, an error is thrown.
