Propagation

Propagation is a customizable final action in a Devolutions PAM provider that executes after password rotation. It is implemented as an optional PowerShell script, allowing administrators to automate specific follow-up tasks required after a credential has been changed.

This flexibility helps address scenarios where updated credentials need to be pushed to external systems or software. For instance, propagation can update stored passwords in Windows services, scheduled tasks, or synchronize secrets with platforms like Azure Key Vault as secrets. It can also be used for notification or compliance purposes by triggering helpdesk tickets or sending alerts through services such as Slack or Microsoft Teams.

By supporting propagation, Devolutions PAM enhances post-rotation workflows, ensuring systems remain in sync and operations continue without disruption.
