Vaults and folders

Vaults

7min

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. Passwork has two vault types: Organization vaults and Private vaults. Organization vaults are the main vault type in Passwork. They are suitable for most tasks: you can create vaults for different projects, departments and other divisions within your company. Organization vaults are accessible by Passwork administrators and users with corresponding access rights. Private vaults are personal vaults which are inaccessible to system administrators and other users without a permission from their owner. Owners can invite others to their Private vaults and grant them appropriate access rights. Both vault types support a folder-based multi-level structure: administrators can build a hierarchy of vaults with nested folders inside.
