Recovery data

Data recovery allows admin to access personal items for selected users.

There are 4 prerequisites:

• Data recovery must be enabled in the administration page
• At least one user must have data recovery rights.
• At least one user must have the rights to manage data recovery quorum.
• The quorum must be defined.
  

The workflow will be as follows:

1. An admin requests the access to a specific user account
2. The quorum members are notified and accept the request
3. The admin is notified and reload his user app: he has access to the user personal items

Shared Vaults are not accessible through data recovery.

Enable Data recovery

1. Go to the Enterprise Vault admin app
2. Go to Settings 
3. Enable the line Authorize data recovery
4. Click Save button

The length of time for which the request is valid when accepted can also be set here.
The default setting is 12 hours.
