Account Groups: Add and Manage Account Groups

Account Groups
Shared Vault accounts can be added to an account group to allow Vault admins to grant users access to multiple shared Vault accounts more efficiently. Account groups can also be used to associate a group of shared Vault accounts to a group policy.
A shared Vault account can belong to only one group at a time and personal Vault accounts cannot be added to an account group.
