Creating Cryptographic Security Platform Vault for Secrets Local Users

If the vault tenant is configured to use local user authentication, a user account should be created for each user who needs to log in to the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault for Secrets webGUI.

Tenant user passwords are stored in Cryptographic Security Platform Vault, user account details are managed in the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault for Secrets webGUI. Users who want to access multiple vault tenants must have a user account in each tenant. Users must be added to an access control policy before they can access the vault tenant portal.
