Vault Account Groups: Add and Manage Account Groups

Vault

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.

If configured, accounts in this account group are available for injection for any Jump Items that match the specified attribute criteria in addition to any specific Jump Items you added as matching criteria.
