Overview
Zones are shared spaces for teams, families, or groups. Members can access shared passwords, secure notes, and files based on their permissions.
How Zones Work
- Zone Owner creates the Zone and manages members
- Groups within the Zone define permission levels
- Items are assigned to Groups, controlling who can access them
- All shared data is encrypted - only Zone members can decrypt

Understanding Groups
Groups control what members can access and do:
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| View | Can see and use passwords |
| Edit | Can modify existing items |
| Manage | Can add/remove items from the Group |
| Admin | Full control over the Group |
Default Groups:
- All Members - Everyone in the Zone
- Admins - Zone administrators
You can create custom Groups for different teams or access levels.
Sharing Items to a Zone
- Open the item you want to share
- Click Edit
- Under Ownership, select the Zone
- Select which Groups can access it
- Click Save
The item moves from your personal vault to the Zone’s shared space.
