[Urgent] Vault that was created after import

Hi admin,
After I joined a family, I started importing a .1pux file to import my passwords. After that, a new vault was created. But... when I went to manage access to this vault. It says, "All family organizers can also manage this vault.". What? I want to ask a question: Can the family manager access this vault? can that add other people, add people, or delete this vault? This is my created vault.


1Password Version: 8.10.13

    Hi @hbteamobi,

    The Private vault is one of the default vaults built into 1Password Family accounts (the other being the family-wide "Shared" vault). Only the user can access their Private vault. Each member of the family gets one such vault for their personal/private items. Any other vaults that get created by users can be accessed and modified by those with family organizer privileges.

    In other words: any items you wish to keep secret/private from other family members can be put in your Personal/Private vault. Putting items in any other vault will mean family organizers could assign themselves - or anyone else - read or read/write permissions to the vault it's in.

    Because of the power granted to family organizers, I strongly recommend that you only join a family account with/grant the role of family organizer to very close family members that you trust. If a customer's family situation is such that they are not certain their data will be safe with these permissions in the hands of the family organizers, I would suggest they instead create an individual account where they have full control of their own data.

    @ag_josephine Thank you for your reply, I understand. But I see a problem. When I imported a .1pux file, it automatically created a new vault. Why it does not import to private? It makes me confused.

    A 1PUX file may contain many vaults. When you import a 1PUX, all vaults within it are created anew during the import. This separates them, and the items contained within each, from any existing vaults you have have with the same names.
