Which permissions are necessary for a vault administrator to update user accounts?

The selection of Audit Users and Add/Update Users at the Vault level as the necessary permissions for a vault administrator to update user accounts is grounded in the distinctive roles and responsibilities that these permissions confer.

Audit Users permission allows a vault administrator to review the user accounts within the vault. This oversight is crucial as it enables the administrator to assess user activities and identify which accounts may need modifying or removing based on their last usage or compliance requirements.

The Add/Update Users permission is vital because it gives the administrator the ability to create new user accounts or modify existing ones. This encompasses crucial actions such as modifying user details, changing permissions, and managing user access rights.

It is particularly important that these actions are performed at the Vault level since different vaults may have distinct security requirements and user configurations. This specificity ensures that the administrator only operates within their designated area, maintaining adherence to the principle of least privilege.

Other options involve permissions that, while relevant, do not directly align with the essential capabilities needed to update user accounts within the vault context. The focus on vault-level permissions ensures that the administrator has the appropriate authority to make necessary changes while upholding the security protocols intrinsic to the CyberArk environment.
