Question:

What does the following warning message mean in the Sharing Rules Section of Vault?

Answer:

If one application role is mapped to multiple Lifecycle roles and those Lifecycle roles use Dynamic Access Control (DAC), a warning occurs in the lifecycle role Sharing Rules tab (Admin --> Configuration --> Document Lifecycles). These warnings indicate that the sharing rules differ between the Lifecycle roles that use the same application role.

Recommendation: If working on a new implementation, align the configurations for any Lifecycle roles that use the same application role. This causes a benefit from future enhancements that simplify administration.

In existing implementations,  leave the configuration as is. The Vault continues to work as expected.
