Abstract
A computing device includes an interface configured to interface and communicate with a dispersed storage network (DSN), a memory that stores operational instructions, and a processing module operably coupled to the interface and memory such that the processing module, when operable within the computing device based on the operational instructions, is configured to perform various operations. The computing device receives, from another computing device, a vault provisioning request and processes the vault provisioning request to determine whether the other computing device is authorized to request provisioning of another vault within the DSN. When the other computing device is authorized, the computing device generates a vault within the DSN in response to the vault provisioning request from the other computing device and updates access control information within the DSN to include an initial access control for the vault and an identifier of the other computing device.
