# Admin quick start

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Prerequisites</span>:

- in the Vault administration application: 
    - recovery data policy activation
    - [set the *recovery\_data* attribute](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/grant-trustelem-data-recovery-permissions) to the users who want to recover user data
- [share the cipher key](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/grant-trustelem-data-recovery-permissions)
- set up the [approbators group(s)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/approbators-group-management)

As a authenticated user, the standard workflow to access to user data is:

1. Create a data recovery request (described [here](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/create-data-recovery-request))
2. Notification is sent to the approbators, waiting for their vote
3. If the request is approved, an email is sent to the user who emit the request
4. The user has to re-log in and can now access to the user data (see an example below)
