1.5. Vault containers
A vault container is a collection of vaults. The table below lists the default vault containers that Identity Management (IdM) provides.
| Type | Description | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| User container | A private container for a user | Stores user vaults for a particular user |
| Service container | A private container for a service | Stores service vaults for a particular service |
| Shared container | A container for multiple users and services | Stores vaults that can be shared by multiple users or services |
IdM creates user and service containers for each user or service automatically when the first private vault for the user or service is created. After the user or service is deleted, IdM removes the container and its contents.
