Assign users the ***Vault owner*** role for vault-level tasks requiring only basic permissions, and the ***Administrator*** role for system-wide tasks requiring the highest level of permissions. Here is a detailed list of the respective capabilities of the ***Administrator*** and ***Vault owner*** roles:


Capability	Administrator	Vault owner
Access to all shared vaults	X
Access to personal vaults of other users
Add or remove users and groups	X
Export/import entries across vaults	X	(between owned vaults only)
Configure system settings	X
Audit logs and platform-wide monitoring	X
Vault-specific permissions	X	(for owned vaults only)
Create and delete vaults	X
Day-to-day access to entries	X	(for owned vaults only)
Session configuration in Remote Desktop Manager	X	(for sessions in owned vaults only)

### Creating vault owners 1. In ***Administration*** – ***Vaults***, either when creating a new vault (***+*** sign), or editing an existing one (pen-shaped button). ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/DVLS4031_2024_2.png) 2. In the vaults themselves, by clicking on the ellipsis button next to the vault's name, and then ***Edit vault***. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/DVLS4029_2024_2.png) In the ***Add vault*** or ***Edit vault settings*** window, go the ***Vault owners*** section, and click on the blue ellipsis button next to the ***Vault owners*** bar. Ticking the box next to individual users or user groups gives them vault owner status. Click on ***Update*** to apply the changes. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/DVLS4032_2024_2.png) ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/DVLS4033_2024_2.png) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
