Setting the Read Vaults Priority for a User

Administrators may set the priority order for Read Vaults by editing a User. If the relationship tabs are not visible, click the Hide Tabs button on the toolbar. Then select the Read Vaults tab. Add/edit/delete the vault relationships, setting the Priority property from lowest to highest for the most to the least preferred vaults. If no Read Vaults are specified, the server chooses the Default Vault set for the user as most preferred, and if a copy of the file is not there, it chooses some other vault to retrieve a file. If Read Vaults are specified, the one with the lowest Priority numerically with a copy of the file is chosen to retrieve a file, followed by the Default Vault (if it is not prioritized in the Read Vaults) list, followed by any other vault.

Generally, if you set any Read Vault priorities for a user, the highest priority (lowest numeric value Priority) Vault should also be their Default Vault. One exception would be if your organization wants users to always save to a ‘Master Vault’, so it is set as the Users’ Default Vault, but other vault(s) are to be used when possible to get a file, and thus are set as the Users’ Read Priority vault(s).
