Managing Vaults

Editing Vaults

Click the manage link in any vault list to edit vault properties. These are the same properties using when adding vaults. Editing displays two additional options.

Requesting Access to Vaults

If a user does not have permissions to access a vault, but it belongs to a scope that they are a member of, then they can request to join the vault.

  1. Click on the vault name and click Request Membership.
  2. The vault owners will receive an email with the request. If they want to give the user permissions to the vault, they can click on the link in the email and can choose what level of permissions to assign the user.

Seizing Vaults

If an administrator does not have permissions to access a vault that is in a scope that they are a member of, and they have the Allowed to own shared vaults permission, they can request to join the vault or seize the vault. If they need to seize the vault, they click on the vault name and click the seize vault button. This will send an email message to every member of the vault, informing them which administrator has seized the vault, and that they are now an owner of that vault.
