User roles in Utila

Understand the roles used in Utila

Updated over 2 months ago

Utila vault permissions are based on roles, and each role allows certain operations. Roles are specific to a vault, and a user can have different roles in different vaults.

Owner

The owner is an admin and cannot be removed from the vault.

Owner permissions

The owner has no priority over other admins except for the following permissions:

  • Owners can create a vault as the first vault user and sole owner.

  • Owners can create additional vaults, subject to their subscription package quota

  • As the creator of a vault, they can perform the entire end-to-end process of generating vault keys.

Owners cannot be removed by the Admin Quorum like other users. Instead, they must be manually replaced by Utila's support team after an authorized request from your team triggers the security process.
