Quickstart guide for users

A user can carry out a large number of Enterprise Vault-related actions. Only the most important are listed in this page.
The full list can be found here: https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/entreprise-vault-usage

Account creation

The user journey begins when their account is created on Trustelem. 

  • If they are created localy, they will receive an enrolment link to define their password
  • If they are synchronized from a directory, the administrators will communicate about the account creation

Then users can access to the Entreprise Vault application using the url: https://vault-your_domain.trustelem.com

First they need to authenticate using Trustelem credentials (Trustelem password or directory password).

Then they can define or provide their master-password, depending on whether it already exists or not. This password will be used for the data encryption.
