# System vault

The ***System vault*** is available for [Devolutions Server and Devolutions Cloud workspaces](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/workspaces/workspace-types/native-workspaces/) to centralize commonly shared entries across vaults and is only accessible by administrators. The ***System vault*** can be found under the ***View*** tab in the ribbon or in the navigation pane.
