# `/sys/seal`
@include 'alerts/restricted-root.mdx'
The `/sys/seal` endpoint seals the Vault.
## Seal
This endpoint seals the Vault. In HA mode, only an active node can be sealed.
Standby nodes should be restarted to get the same effect. Requires a token with
`root` policy or `sudo` capability on the path.
| Method | Path |
| :----- | :---------- |
| `POST` | `/sys/seal` |
### Sample request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request POST \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/seal
```
