Configuring User and Group Permissions in Autodesk Vault

Solid Vault administration starts with clear and intentional access control. In this session, Donny Hayes from KETIV’s Data Management team walks through how to set up users, groups, and permissions in Autodesk Vault the right way—so your team has the access they need, and nothing they shouldn’t.

We’ll cover the fundamentals of user creation and authentication, then move into role assignments, group configuration, and how to use groups to manage lifecycle states and folder access. You’ll see where permissions actually live, how they interact, and how to avoid the common pitfalls that lead to security gaps and administrative headaches.

This session is perfect for Vault administrators, IT leads, engineering managers, and anyone responsible for keeping data secure and workflows running smoothly across Vault Professional, Vault Basic, or Vault Workgroup.

Walk away with a cleaner, more organized Vault environment—and a clear path to maintaining it.
