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.

Processing of a vault provisioning request within a data storage system

A method for execution by a managing unit of a dispersed storage network (DSN) includes facilitating capture of log information from a plurality of entities of the DSN for storage in a log vault of the DSN. An error condition with regards to at least one of the plurality of entities can be detected. Error correlation information that includes an identified at least one of the plurality of entities can be generated based on the error condition and the log information. A DSN configuration change can be facilitated based on the error correlation information.
