# Quick start guide

The aim of this quick-start user guide is to present the main actions that users can perform with Enterprise Vault.

#### Onboarding

The administrators are in charge of creating user accounts first.   
Two scenarios are possible:

- If user accounts are imported, users will use their usual login and so the administrators will only provide access information (Vault URL: <span lang="EN-US">https://vault-**your\_domain**.trustelem.com</span>).
- If user accounts have been specifically created for Enterprise Vault, users will receive an email with a link to create a password.

Then, if the admins have enabled multi-factor authentication, users will have to perform enrolment on first authentication.

Finally, when accessing Enterprise Vault for the first time, users must define a master password, which will be required for each new data decryption.

#### Access to Enterprise Vault

To access their vault, users must perform 2 actions:

- [Authenticate themselves on WALLIX ONE IDaaS using their login, password and optionally 2nd factor.](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/entreprise-vault-user/page/personal-vault#bkmrk-authentication)
- [Provide the master password needed to decrypt their data.](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/entreprise-vault-user/page/personal-vault#bkmrk-authentication)

#### Available clients

These actions, followed by access to the data, can be carried out on 3 types of client:

- The browser, via a specific URL
- Browser plugins (Chrome, Firefox, Edge via the Chrome plugin)
- Mobile applications

#### Type of vaults

Users have access to two types of vault:

- Their **personal vault**, to which only them have access\*.
- **Shared vaults**, enabling secrets to be shared between different people and teams.

*\*Enterprise Vault has a recovery mode which, if activated, can give administrators access to personal secrets.*
