Managing Policies using the UI

Vault provides an intuitive web interface for creating, viewing, editing, and deleting ACL policies. Use the top navigation bar to quickly switch between Secrets, Access, Policies, and Tools.

Accessing the Policies Tab

1. Click on the Policies tab (highlighted by the pink arrow in the screenshot).
2. Vault lists all ACL policies, including built-in and any custom policies you’ve defined.

In this example, you’ll also see a custom Admin Policy listed alongside the built-in entries.

Viewing and Managing Policies

• Click the ⋮ (three-dot) menu on the right to:
  • Download the policy file
  • View policy details in a modal
  • Edit the policy rules inline
  • Delete the policy

Creating a New ACL Policy

1. Click Create ACL Policy on the right.
2. Enter a unique name for your policy.
3. Paste your HCL or JSON rule definitions into the editor.
4. Click Save to apply the new policy.
