Vaults
Passwork vaults are root-level encrypted containers that store folders and passwords. They use a special cryptographic algorithm which ensures that your data is kept safe.
There are two basic types of vaults in Passwork: user vaults and company vaults
User vaults are containers, that by default are accessible only to their owner. They are divided into private and shared vaults.
A private vault becomes shared when other users are added to it
Company vaults are vaults that, besides their creator, non-removable corporate administrators have access to.
You can create and set up vault types on the Vault settings page
Using vault types, Passwork administrators can:
- configure who can create vaults of a certain type;
- automatically assign non-removable vault administrators;
- manage the rights of vault creators;
Both types of vaults support a folder-based multi-level structure: administrators can build a hierarchy of vaults with nested folders inside.

Vault access quick view
Administators can view vault access summary by hovering over the icon to the right of the vault name.
This pop-up window shows recent activities in the vault, information on users that have direct access to the vault, as well as those that can access it using group-based rights, and lists the shared passwords.
