1. A method comprises: identifying, by a rebuilding module within a device of a dispersed storage network (DSN), an encoded slice for rebuilding, wherein a data element is dispersed storage error encoded into a set of encoded slices, which includes the encoded slice, wherein a set of storage units of the DSN stores the set of encoded slices, and wherein a first storage unit of the set of storage units is assigned to store the encoded data slice; determining, by the rebuilding module, whether the set of encoded slices is stored in an encrypted section of a vault or within an unencrypted section of the vault; when the set of encoded slices is stored in the unencrypted section of the vault, determining, by the rebuilding module, whether the set of storage units have viewing rights; when the set of storage units does not have the viewing rights, enabling, by the rebuilding module, a restricted rebuilding process to rebuild the encoded slice; and when the set or storage units does have the viewing rights, enabling, by the rebuilding module, an unrestricted rebuilding process to rebuild the encoded slice.
