Creating a Vault

KeyControl Vault security administrators create vaults and assign an administrator to each vault.

The vault administrator is sent the URL and a temporary password, allowing them to access and configure the vault. The vault administrator is responsible for the vault and has full control.

The KeyControl Vault administrator does not have access to the vault by default.
