Assigning a user to a vault as an Operator

Administrators with vault management permissions may grant users Operator-level access with privileges to initiate only, or to initiate and approve vault operations.
1

Open vault settings

Tap the desired vault, then tap the Settings icon in the upper right corner.
2

Navigate to Users

Select the Users section to view and edit the users on this vault policy.
3

Add the user

Tap Add user and select the users you want to add to the vault.
4

Set privileges

To restrict a user to initiate-only permissions, tap the user, select Initiate only, and tap Save changes.
5

Submit for approval

After making all changes, tap Continue. Add a comment (optional) and tap Review to submit the operation. Other administrators will receive a notification to approve. Once quorum is met, Anchorage Digital will review for approval.

Assigning a user as an administrator

Administrators may increase or decrease a user’s permissions to the administrator level by adding them to the administrator policy.
1

Navigate to Administrator policy

Go to Policies, then tap Administrator policy.
2

Open the Users list

Select Users to view the users on the administrator policy.
3

Add the user

Tap Add user and select the user or users to add as administrators.
4

Set permission level

Users can be added with Initiate only or Initiate and approve permissions. If added with Initiate and approve, they’ll be added to the default Any admin operation rule of the administrator policy.
To configure more granularly which rules the new user is added to, edit the policy’s rules before submitting.
5

Review the updated user list

Confirm the new users appear on the administrator policy, then tap Continue.
6

Save your changes

Tap Save changes, then follow the prompts to submit biometric approval — quorum approval is required. Once quorum is met, Anchorage Digital will review for approval.

Downgrading an administrator to Operator

Changing a user from administrator to Operator is a two-step change, in this order:
  1. Remove the user from the administrator policy. In the iOS app, go to Policies, tap Administrator policy, open the Default rule, and tap Edit approvers to remove the user, then submit for quorum approval. From the web dashboard, edit the policy’s users under Settings, then Policies—see Managing administrator policy users.
  2. Assign the user Operator access in each vault they should keep, following Assigning a user to a vault as an Operator above.
Both changes are quorum-approved. Assigning Operator access in a vault without first removing the administrator policy leaves the user with administrator permissions.
