What is a key characteristic of Vault authorizations?

A key characteristic of Vault authorizations is that they cannot be inherited via group membership. This means that authorizations must be explicitly defined for each user or entity rather than relying on group associations. This design choice provides a greater level of security and granularity in permissions management, ensuring that each individual authorization is carefully managed without risk stemming from broader group permissions. It emphasizes the principle of least privilege, allowing organizations to tailor access rights directly, thereby reducing potential security risks.
