## Remarks

- Any session can call it, for any vault GUID of the server.
- The detail depends on the caller: with the server right `manage_vaults`, complete data
  except database credentials; in a vault session with full control of the session's vault, the
  basic data plus `database_info.engine` and `file_data_storage`; otherwise the
  basic data only.
- An unknown GUID fails with "The specified document vault does not exist."; a
  replica vault fails with "The parameter is incorrect.".
- Waits if the vault is being brought online or offline.
