    who may request access to their Vault in a Zero Knowledge/Zero
    Trust environment (see here for details).
  * Encrypted Exports: Personal users and Organizations can now
    export Vault data in an encrypted .json file (see here for
    details).
  * New Role: A Custom role is now available to allow for granular
    control over user permissions (see here for details).
  * New Enterprise Policy: The Personal Ownership policy is now
    available for use by Enterprise Organization (see here for
