# Unassigned Items

The **Collection** field is **mandatory** to **create** an Item in a Shared Vault. However, an Item can be **removed** from a **Collection after** it is **created**.

If an item is **no longer assigned to any Collections**, it is marked as an **Unassigned Item**. This will happen if all collections, that an item is assigned to, are unselected or deleted.

This will happen if an Item is [**Removed from all Collections**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/65#bkmrk-click-save.-the-item) or if the **[Collections to which it is assigned are deleted](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/63)**.

Only members with **owner** or **admin roles** can **see** Unassigned Items, and can decide how to treat them.
