Hi @clayms
,

1) Technically, yes, if the dss user or the impersonated user has permission to read the ssh key of other users /home/username/.ssh you can retrieve and use it in a shell recipe e.g ssh -i /path/to/name-public-key

2) No directly with bash, you can use python code to retrieve user secrets - https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/security/user-secrets.html#python

You could try and execute python from your shell recipe see example :

In the general, we recommend using Python recipes instead of shell recipes if possible. I you do need to make shell calls you can subprocess or os packages.
