The request is allowed but logged for audit

The request is queued for manual approval

The request is allowed only if the ACL policy also allows it

The request is denied with a permission denied error

What is the purpose of using Vault's policy testing tools before deploying a Sentinel policy?

To automatically deploy the policy to all Vault clusters

To compile the policy into a binary format for faster evaluation

To ensure the policy is syntactically correct and behaves as expected

To generate a report of all users affected by the policy

A Vault Enterprise administrator needs to enforce a Sentinel policy that restricts access to the `secret/hr/*` path to only users who are members of the `hr` group.
