Learn about vaults

This page explains how Vaults in Termius work, how to organize and control access to your infrastructure, and how to create and manage vaults for secure collaboration and data separation.

Vaults in Termius are the end-to-end encrypted cloud storage for Hosts, Keys, Snippets, Port Forwarding rules, and Known Hosts. Vaults enable sync across devices and secure sharing across your team.

Your Termius account includes three types of vaults:

• Your Personal vault is for items not meant to be seen by the team, such as credentials or test and work-in-progress servers.

• Team vault is created automatically once you invite your first teammate. This vault is shared with everyone on the team, enabling your team to manage infrastructure together.

• Custom team vaults are additional vaults when your company requires granular permissions and controlled access to information across team members. Use them to separate data by team, project, or environment, and define who can access each vault.

This structure allows you to organize access based on your team’s needs.

For example, a SaaS company has dedicated DevOps, Developers, and QA teams, each with different access levels to the infrastructure. The company uses vaults in Termius to separate Production, Development, and Staging environments. DevOps has access to all three. Developers can access Development and Staging, while QA can access only Staging.

For more examples and ideas on organizing your vaults, see Team vaults.
