# What Atomyx Vault Does

## Overview

Atomyx Vault serves as the entry point for all Atomyx products, providing a unified system for managing user accounts, workspaces, products, subscriptions, and access control. Atomyx Vault provides identity, workspace, and subscription management for the three core Atomyx products: Atomyx Manage, Atomyx Submit, and Atomyx Prepare.

Atomyx Vault is a separate SaaS solution and is not part of any individual Atomyx product. Instead, it provides the shared infrastructure that all Atomyx products rely on for user authentication and authorization.

This document provides an overview of Atomyx Vault’s architecture, its core concepts, and how it relates to the broader Atomyx product ecosystem.&#x20;

Atomyx Vault is organized around a hierarchy of concepts. Understanding these concepts and their relationships is essential for configuring and administering the platform.

## Platform Hierarchy

The relationship between Vault’s core concepts follows a clear hierarchy. Understanding this hierarchy is important for planning access control and product configuration.

### Account → Workspaces

A single Atomyx account (identified by email address) can be a member of multiple workspaces. This allows one person to participate in different organizations. For example, a consultant could be a member of both their own company’s workspace and a client’s workspace.

The user’s role can differ across workspaces - they might be an Owner in one workspace and a Member in another.

### Workspace → Products

Each workspace can have one or more products added to it. Products are instances of Atomyx product types (such as Atomyx Manage, Atomyx Prepare, Atomyx Submit, or Atomyx Layout). A workspace can have multiple products, including multiple instances of the same product type.

Each product instance has its own name, description, short name (used in URLs), subscription, users, groups, and integrations.

### Workspace → Users

Users must be invited to a workspace by a workspace admin. Being a member of a workspace does not automatically grant access to all products within it - product access must be explicitly granted.

### Product → Product Users

Within each product, workspace users can be given access with a product-level role. The available roles depend on the product type. For Atomyx Manage, this includes an Admin role. Users without product access will not see the product in their interface.
