11/07/2024, 10:26 AMHi all - could someone help me understand the API Secrets - SuiteApp model? If I want to use API Secrets from a widely distributed SuiteApp, is it:
(1) That I create a secret in the UI of the account which publishes the SuiteApp and all accounts which install my SuiteApp get it automatically (and admins there can't see the stored value);
OR
(2) That in each account which installs my SuiteApp the admin needs to go and define the secret via the UI
?
The former is hinted at in this article, e.g. "[...] when sharing your SuiteApps with other users, as it allows for the safe sharing of these secrets [...]". The latter is what's clearly laid out here. I'm really confused! Thanks!
