Returns ​

Returns the deleted secret object.

Parameters ​

  • name (string, required) A name for the secret that’s unique within the scope.

  • scope (object, required) Specifies the scoping of the secret. Requests originating from UI extensions can only access account-scoped secrets or secrets scoped to their own user.

    • scope.type (enum, required) The secret scope type. Possible enum values:

      • account A secret scoped to an account. Use this for API keys or other secrets that should be accessible by all UI Extension contexts.

      • user A secret scoped to a specific user. Use this for oauth tokens or other per-user secrets. If this is set, scope.user must also be set.

    • scope.user (string, optional) The user ID. This field is required if type is set to user, and should not be provided if type is set to account.
