Vault access in Remote Desktop Manager macOS

In Remote Desktop Manager macOS, users can request access to a public vault. An administrator / vault owner then has to approve the request.

Vault visibility is of great importance in Remote Desktop Manager, as access requests can only be performed for public vaults and not private ones.

• Private: A private vault is not visible to users that do not have access to it. Thus, vault access requests cannot be performed. You can only access it by invitation.
• Public: A public vault is visible to all users of the data source, even to those who do not have access to it. A user can request access to the public vault.

You can change the Vault visibility either system-wide or individually on the vault. See the next section to configure this setting.
