Admins have sole responsibility for user management in Vault Clinical Basics. These tasks can be subdivided into two categories: Setup and System Maintenance.

Before users can access your Vault, you must complete the following setup tasks:

  • Creating and Managing Users
  • Setting up Studies
  • Granting Study Access

In addition to the setup tasks, Admins also have responsibility for basic system maintenance:

  • Managing the Global Directory
  • Archiving Studies

Vault has three user types:

  • Domain users: Typically employees within your company. These users may already be in your company domain.
  • Cross-domain users: Typically users from external organizations, such as vendors or inspectors. These users already have Veeva Vault credentials and will use them to access your Vault.
  • VeevaID users: VeevaID is an Identity Provider (IdP) system that allows you to use a single login for all Veeva applications. Users with a VeevaID can use their SSO credentials to access Vault.
