What are domains in Vault?

In Vault, domains represent the logical grouping of systems based on common attributes, such as network or organizational structure. Domains help organize and manage the access to accounts and resources within Vault.

How are domains useful in Vault?

Domains enable Vault administrators to organize endpoints and accounts more efficiently, making it easier to manage access and apply policies. By grouping systems into domains, administrators can streamline access controls and ensure that appropriate policies are enforced across related systems and accounts.
