You're exactly right about those two problems, and they actually go together quite well. If a user who previously had access to a secret suddenly has that access revoked, you should rotate that secret. Technically that's only really necessary if the user ever actually saw that secret value, but most secret managers don't expose that information.

At Doppler, we're currently in the process of building out our rotation engine[0]. It allows you to automatically rotate secrets with third party providers (including your database) on a schedule you define. We also provide access logs to see exactly who saw what and when. The ultimate goal is to automatically rotate your secrets as users' access changes. And if you get notification of a breach, you can rotate everything with a single click.
