Select the two paths below that would be permitted for read access based on the...

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

Vault policies use path-based syntax with wildcards (+ for one segment, * for zero or more) to define permissions. The policy path "secret/+/training/*" { capabilities = ["create", "read"] } grants "create" and "read" access to paths matching this pattern.

Path Analysis:

The + wildcard matches exactly one segment after "secret/".

"training/" must follow that segment.

The * wildcard allows any number of subsequent segments (including none).

Correct Paths:

B. secret/cloud/training/test/exam: Matches as "cloud" fits +, followed by "training/", and "test/exam" fits *. "Permitted since + allows for cloud and * allows for test/exam."

D. secret/departments/training/vault: Matches with "departments" as +, "training/", and "vault" as *. "Permitted since + allows for departments and vault is in place of *."

Incorrect Paths:

A. secret/business/training: Fails because there’s no trailing segment after "training/" to match *. "Not permitted since the wildcard is AFTER training."

C. secret/departments/certification/api: Fails because "certification" replaces "training/", which is required. "Not permitted since certification does not equal training."

This policy targets paths with a specific structure, ensuring precise access control.
