When one follows a Hashicorp's Vault demo, one has to issue vault init -key-shares=1 -key-threshold=1 at a certain moment that generates a key 1 and root token:

Key 1: ABC
Root Token: XYZ

If person A generates a secret by executing vault write secret/hello value=world how could person B check on his/her computer the value of secret/hello?

Assuming person B has a role which also allows them access to the path secret/hello, then they would simply run vault read secret/hello from their own machine.

If you're following the demo, I think the vault server will be on your local machine? So if someone else is to connect to it they would need to set VAULT_ADDR to point to the IP where the server is running.
