### Limit token access to Vault secrets
You can control `CI_JOB_JWT` access to Vault secrets by using Vault protections
and GitLab features. For example, restrict the token by:
- Using Vault [bound_claims](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/jwt#bound-claims)
for specific groups using `group_claim`.
- Hard coding values for Vault bound claims based on the `user_login` and `user_email`
of specific users.
- Setting Vault time limits for TTL of the token as specified in [`token_explicit_max_ttl`](https://www.vaultproject.io/api/auth/jwt#token_explicit_max_ttl),
where the token expires after authentication.
- Scoping the JWT to [GitLab projected branches](../../../user/project/protected_branches.md)
that are restricted to a subset of project users.
- Scoping the JWT to [GitLab projected tags](../../../user/project/protected_tags.md),
that are restricted to a subset of project users.
