When looking at Vault token details, which key helps you find the paths the token is able to access?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

When looking at Vault token details, the policies key helps you find the paths the token is able to access. Policies are a declarative way to grant or forbid access to certain paths and operations in Vault. Policies are written in HCL or JSON and are attached to tokens by name. Policies are deny by default, so an empty policy grants no permission in the system. A token can have one or more policies associated with it, and the effective policy is the union of all the individual policies. You can view the token details by using the vault token lookup command or the auth/token/lookup API endpoint. The output will show the policies key with a list of policy names that are attached to the token. You can also view the contents of a policy by using the vault policy read command or the sys/policy API endpoint. The output will show the rules key with the HCL or JSON representation of the policy.The rules will specify the paths and the capabilities (such as create, read, update, delete, list, etc.) that the policy allows or denies.Reference: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/concepts/policies4, https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/commands/token/lookup5, https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/api-docs/auth/token#lookup-a-token6, https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/commands/policy/read7, https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/api-docs/system/policy8

The path key, huh? Sounds like the right move to me. Unless, of course, it's all just a clever distraction and the real answer is Meta. *winks*

Path? Pfft, that's so obvious. I'm going with Accessor. Gotta keep an eye on those unique identifiers, am I right?

The path key? Nah, man, that's too easy. I'm going with Policies. Gotta keep those permissions under lock and key, you know?

I bet the path key is the answer. Gotta know where your tokens can roam, right?

I believe it's C) Policies, as policies determine the access control rules for the token.

Ah, the path key! That's the one that really gives you the big picture on what the token can do.

I agree with Luann, because the paths the token can access are related to the 'Path' key.

The path key is definitely the one to look for. That's where the token's access permissions are defined.

I think the key that helps find the paths is B) Path.
