Secret Server

Unlimited Administration Mode or "Break the Glass" is a feature designed to allow an Administrator access to all Secrets and Folders in their Secret Server instance without explicit permission. This can be used in an emergency situation where access is needed to a Secret (a firecall password) and can be used when company policies require Administrators to have access to all information in the system.

Unlimited Administrator Mode is audited within the system, and an automatic email alert can be sent through Event Subscriptions whenever the feature is accessed.

Using Role Based Access Control (RBAC), the Unlimited Administration Mode can be separated into two Roles which forces two people to agree before the feature can be used.
