Security Rights

Security rights in Vault Standard allow Administrators to control two aspects of user interaction with Vault Standard:

In addition, all security settings that can be applied to a user can also be applied to a group, which is a collection of users.

When a new user is added, the user will use the default access rule for each repository in the Vault Standard server.

Folder Security can be turned off entirely for a repository to increase performance since checks to the database do not need to be made. This is the default setting for newly created repositories.

Security rights can be set in one the following ways:

Repository-Level Access

Repository-Level access enables Administrators to control which users can see a repository, and to assign some users to be Repository Admin.

Folder Security

Setting the Folder Security rights gives Administrators control over what operations can be performed by a user in to a specific folder in the source control repository. For more information, please see the Source Control Repositories -> Individual Repository Name -> Folder Security link.
