Description
Description:
When Hashicope vault is setup, it is required to create a policy file, provision it and assign it to a role when AppRole Pull authentication is used. In this policy file we need to define the necessary privileges to access the vault entries.
The permission file should be in following format if the secrets are stored as below.

path "ei-secrets/data/*" {
capabilities = [ "read", "update" ]
}
Hence the path takes the format
<Secret Engine Name>/data/<rest of the vault path>/*
