Admin access to API secret

Question

I'm just curious if there is way for me as a gallery admin to obtain the API access secret for a user. Some context: A user is no longer with the company, and I'm trying to transition from Oauth1 to Oauth2 for some workflows that they owned. Our server is on version 21.4.2.02731 (which may be part of the problem). I have the user's private studio key/secret that they emailed me before they left, but we've only been able to get the Oauth2 token to return valid with the API access key and secret (and after making them a curator). This may have already been fixed in 2022.1 (and for what it's worth, here is the error response in 21.4 with the private studio key/secret:

So I need to switch to their api access key/secret, but I don't have a way that I know of to obtain the secret for a user that has left the company. We could have a current user republish the app, but I'm being stubborn and trying to find a way to get the secret. I am a gallery admin and have access to the Mongo.

@KevinP and @JohnPelletier in case you have any suggestions!

Hi @TimN - Could you please confirm me what is the tool you have used to retrieve the API and Secret Key of the user? And what was the configuration you have made in that?

Same issue here.  I'm looking for a way to decrypt the API Secret.

Did you ever find a solution for decoding the API Secret?  Running into this issue now where I am trying to get access to all of the jobs for other users and the user has left the company.  I see the Key and Secret through the Mongo DB, but as you pointed out, the secret is encoded.  :(
