pulumi/pulumi-vault

    Manages the global group policy application mode for Vault Enterprise. This resource controls how policies attached to identity groups are applied across namespace boundaries.

    Important: This is a singleton resource - only one instance can exist per Vault cluster. The resource must be managed from the root or administrative namespace.

    Note this feature is available only with Vault Enterprise 1.13.8+.

    Example Usage

    Basic Usage (Root Namespace)

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as vault from "@pulumi/vault";

// Configure group policy application mode in root namespace
// Using the default mode
const test = new vault.config.GroupPolicyApplication("test", {groupPolicyApplicationMode: "within_namespace_hierarchy"});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_vault as vault

# Configure group policy application mode in root namespace
# Using the default mode
test = vault.config.GroupPolicyApplication("test", group_policy_application_mode="within_namespace_hierarchy")

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-vault/sdk/v7/go/vault/config"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		// Configure group policy application mode in root namespace
		// Using the default mode
		_, err := config.NewGroupPolicyApplication(ctx, "test", &config.GroupPolicyApplicationArgs{
			GroupPolicyApplicationMode: pulumi.String("within_namespace_hierarchy"),
		})
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	})
}

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using Vault = Pulumi.Vault;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() =>

    var test = new Vault.Config.GroupPolicyApplication("test", new()
    {
        GroupPolicyApplicationMode = "within_namespace_hierarchy",
    });

    Behavior Notes

    Singleton Resource

    This resource is a singleton, meaning only one instance can exist per Vault cluster. Multiple vault.config.GroupPolicyApplication resources in your Terraform configuration will conflict.

    Deletion Behavior

    When this resource is destroyed via terraform destroy, it does not delete the configuration from Vault. Instead, it resets the mode to the default value withinNamespaceHierarchy. This ensures that Vault always has a valid group policy application mode configured.

    Namespace Requirements

    This resource can only be managed from:

    • The root namespace
    • The administrative namespace ("admin")

    Attempting to manage this resource from any other namespace will result in an error.

    Policy Application Scope

    Important: The group policy application mode only applies to ACL policies and no longer affects Sentinel RGPs for Vault ≥ 1.13.8, 1.14.4, 1.15.0.

    Replication Behavior

    This configuration will be replicated between primary and secondary clusters. Primaries cannot have a different mode than secondaries.

    Version Requirements

    • Requires Vault Enterprise 1.15.0 or later (TFVP support)

    Import

    The group policy application configuration can be imported using the path sys/config/group-policy-application:

    $ pulumi import vault:config/groupPolicyApplication:GroupPolicyApplication config sys/config/group-policy-application
