Each user within NetBox can associate his or her account with an RSA public key. If activated by an administrator, this user key will contain a unique, encrypted copy of the AES master key needed to retrieve secret data.
User keys may be created by users individually, however they are of no use until they have been activated by a user who already has access to retrieve secret data.
