If the vault tenant is configured to use local user authentication, create a user account for each user who needs to log in to the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault for Secrets webGUI.

Tenant user passwords are stored in the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault; user account details are managed in the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault for Secrets webGUI. Users who want to access multiple vault tenants must have a user account in each tenant. Add users to an access control policy before they can access the vault tenant portal.

To read more about access control policies, see CSP Vault for Secrets Access Policies.
