# PowerShell script export type

Use a PowerShell script to export your data in JSON or CSV format. This method is only available with Devolutions Cloud and requires PowerShell 7 or later.

First choose whether you want to automatically or manually fill in your information in the PowerShell script.

### Automatically fill in the information

1. In ***Help & tools***, click on ***Export***.
2. Select the ***PowerShell script*** export type.

3. Next, create an [Application identity](https://docs.devolutions.net/cloud/web-interface/administration/management/application-users/manage-application-users/) with the right to export the desired vaults (see [Roles and Permissions](https://docs.devolutions.net/cloud/web-interface/administration/configuration-security/system-permissions/roles-permissions/) for more details). Make sure to enable ***Can access user vaults***, otherwise user vaults will not be exportable.
4. Select the ***Automatic*** option.
