# Use a shared Vault in a workspace

Create an end-to-end encrypted Vault for a workspace, share its Vault Pass with your team, and know what members can do in it.

A workspace can have its own Vault, shared by its members. Like your personal Vault, it is end-to-end encrypted, and everyone opens it with the same Vault Pass.

## Create the workspace Vault

The workspace owner creates it, or a member whose role allows **Create a Vault**.

1. Switch to the workspace, then open **Vault** in the left rail.

   Before the workspace has a Vault, its owner sees **Create a new Vault**.

2. Choose the Vault Pass of the workspace, type it twice, then create the Vault.

   The steps are the same as for your personal Vault: see [Create your Vault](https://drime.cloud/support/vault/create-your-vault).

## Share the Vault Pass with your team

Members open the workspace Vault with the same Vault Pass. Give it to them yourself, outside Drime: Drime never sees, stores or sends it.

> **Important**
>
> Nobody can recover a forgotten Vault Pass, not even Drime. Keep it in a password manager your team trusts.

## What members can do

- Members unlock the workspace Vault with its Vault Pass and work with its files.
- Only the owner can rename the Vault, change its colour or reset it.
- Files a member uploads to the workspace Vault count against that member's own storage.

Before the owner creates it, a member sees **No Vault in this workspace yet**.

Workspace admins can turn the Vault off for members in the workspace settings. See [Workspace security settings](https://drime.cloud/support/workspaces/security-settings).

## If it doesn't work

| What you see | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| **No Vault in this workspace yet** | The workspace has no Vault yet. Ask its owner to create it, then unlock it with the Vault Pass they give you. |
| You cannot find **Create a new Vault** | Only the owner, or a member whose role allows **Create a Vault**, can create it. |
| The Vault Pass is refused | Check with the owner that you have the right Vault Pass: it is not your account password. See [Unlock and lock your Vault](https://drime.cloud/support/vault/unlock-and-lock). |
| There is no Vault in the workspace | A workspace admin may have turned it off for members. |
