 ## Configuration
 
 - `path` `(string: required)` - The path to use to write the token file
-- `mode` `(int: optional)` - A string containing an octal number representing the bit pattern for the file mode, similar to chmod. Set to `0000` to prevent Vault from modifying the file mode. Note: This configuration option is only available in Vault 1.3.0 and above.
+- `mode` `(int: optional)` - Octal number string representing the bit pattern for the file mode, similar to `chmod`.
+- `owner` `(int: optional)` - The UID to use for the token file. Defaults to the current user ID.
+- `group` `(int: optional)` - The GID to use for token file. Defaults to the current group ID.
 
 ~> Note: Configuration options for response-wrapping and encryption for the sink
 file are located within the [options common to all sinks](/vault/docs/agent-and-proxy/autoauth#configuration-sinks) documentation.
