Access requests as currently implemented are asking permission to access a secret. Another "smart" access mode (as compared to the dumb allow any/none) could be to ask for forgiveness:

  • access to secrets in this mode is immediately possible for anyone
  • the first access will however trigger a notification that the user in question has accessed the secret
  • notified users might be anyone who ever accessed the secret (bad) or the last few people (meh) or some kind of secret owner (yet to be defined)
