VaultOne: Groups

Groups in VaultOne are essential for efficiently organizing and securing access to your resources. They also help administrators manage permissions and maintain a clear overview of who has access to what. Before you start creating groups, it's a good idea to plan your structure. Consider organizing your users into roles or logical groups based on the shared access privileges they'll need.

VaultOne offers two primary ways to create groups: manually by adding users one by one, or by importing them directly from JumpCloud, Azure AD or other platforms using SCIM. This guide will focus on creating groups manually.

Creating a Root Group

Root groups form the top level of your organizational structure within VaultOne.

1. Navigate to the Administration menu.
2. Click on Groups.
3. Click the +Add Root Group button.
4. Enter a descriptive Name for your new group. It's helpful to use clear identifiers, such as team names or functional units, to indicate which users will belong to this group and share access to similar resources.
5. Click Save.

Creating Subgroups

Subgroups allow you to create a hierarchical structure within your root groups, offering more granular organization.

1. In the Groups section, right-click on the existing root group (or another subgroup) to which you want to add a subgroup.
2. Select the option to Add Subgroup (or similar wording that appears).
3. Enter a Name for your new subgroup.
4. Click Save.

By following these steps, you can effectively build a structured group hierarchy in VaultOne to streamline your access management.
