Manage Safes

This topic describes how to edit Safe properties or delete a Safe in the PVWA. This topic also describes the required authorizations a user must have to perform these actions.

Required authorizations to manage Safes

To update Safe properties or delete a Safe, you must have the relevant following authorization(s) in the Vault:

Authorization	Description
Manage Safe	This authorization is given at the Safe level, as part of the Safe member authorizations. It enables the user to perform the following actions: View the Safes page in the PVWA Manage the properties of existing Safes
Manage Safe Members	This authorization is given at the Safe level, as part of the Safe member authorizations. It enables the user to perform the following actions: Add existing Vault users and groups as Safe members in the PVWA Add users in external LDAP directories as Safe members in the PVWA Specify and update Safe permissions Remove a user from a Safe

Edit Safe properties

Users who have the Manage Safe authorization in the Vault can change Safe properties.

Safes that are created in the PVWA are based on default properties. Users who have the Manage Safe permission in the Safe can modify some of the Safe properties in the PVWA. Other properties can be changed in the PrivateArk Administrative Client. For more information about the default Safe properties, see Default Safe properties.

To edit Safe properties:

1. In the Safes list, select the relevant Safe.
2. In the Safe properties pane, click Edit.

3. Change the Safe properties that you want, and then click Save.

   For more information about Safe properties, see Step 3, Add a Safe in Add a Safe.

Delete a Safe

Users who have the Manage Safe authorization in the Vault can delete a Safe.

Verify that you do not need any of the accounts or files stored in the Safe - only empty Safes can be deleted. Make sure all accounts and files are permanently deleted from the Safe (the retention time period for accounts and files has ended). A deleted Safe cannot be recovered.

To delete a Safe:

1. In the Safes list, select the relevant Safe.
2. In the Safe properties pane, click Delete.

3. Click Delete to confirm that you want to delete the Safe and all of its contents.
