What does the following policy do?
This policy allows a user to read data about the secret endpoint identity. The policy grants the user the ability to create, update, read, and delete data in the ''secret/data/{identity.entity.id}'' path. Additionally, the user is allowed to list data in the ''secret/metadata/{identity.entity.id}'' path. This policy is useful for users who need to access information about the secret endpoint identity.
The secret endpoint identity is a feature of the Identity Secrets Engine, which allows Vault to generate identity tokens that can be used to access other Vault secrets engines or namespaces. The identity tokens are based on the entity and group information of the user or machine that authenticates with Vault. The entity is a unique identifier for the user or machine, and the group is a collection of entities that share some common attributes. The identity tokens can carry metadata and policies that are associated with the entity and group.
The ''secret/data/{identity.entity.id}'' path is where the user can store and retrieve data that is related to the secret endpoint identity. For example, the user can store some configuration or preferences for the secret endpoint identity in this path. The ''secret/metadata/{identity.entity.id}'' path is where the user can list the metadata of the data stored in the ''secret/data/{identity.entity.id}'' path. For example, the user can list the version, creation time, deletion time, and destroy time of the data in this path.

Which of these is not a benefit of dynamic secrets?
Dynamic secrets are generated on-demand by Vault and have a limited time-to-live (TTL). They do not ensure that administrators can see every password used, as they are often encrypted and ephemeral. The benefits of dynamic secrets are:
They support systems that do not natively provide a method of expiring credentials, such as databases, cloud providers, SSH, etc. Vault can revoke the credentials when they are no longer needed or when the lease expires.
They minimize the damage of credentials leaking, as they are short-lived and can be easily rotated or revoked. If a credential is compromised, the attacker has a limited window of opportunity to use it before it becomes invalid.
They replace cumbersome password rotation tools and practices, as Vault can handle the generation and revocation of credentials automatically and securely. This reduces the operational overhead and complexity of managing secrets.
