Authenticate your account using your Vault user name and password to obtain a Vault Session ID.
If the specified user cannot successfully authenticate to the given vaultDNS, the subdomain is considered invalid and this request instead generates a session for the user’s most relevant available Vault. A DNS is considered invalid for the given user if the user cannot access any Vaults in that subdomain, for example, if the user does not exist in that DNS or if all Vaults in that DNS are inactive. For this reason, it is best practice to inspect the response, compare the desired Vault ID with the list of returned Vault IDs, and confirm the DNS matches the expected login.
Vault limits the number of Authentication API calls based on the user name and the domain name used in the API call. To determine the Vault Authentication API burst limit for your Vault or the length of delay for a throttled response, check the response headers or the API Usage Logs.
POST https://{vaultDNS}/api/{version}/auth
Headers
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Content-Type | multipart/form-data or application/x-www-form-urlencoded |
Accept | application/json (default) or application/xml |
URI Path Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
vaultDNS | The DNS of the Vault for which you want to generate a session. If the requesting user cannot successfully authenticate to this vaultDNS, this request generates a session for the user’s most relevant available Vault. |
version | The Vault REST API version. Your authentication version does not need to match the version in subsequent calls. For example, you can authenticate with v17.3 and run your integrations with v20.1. |
Body Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
usernamerequired | Your Vault user name assigned by your administrator. |
passwordrequired | Your Vault password associated with your assigned Vault user name. |
vaultDNSoptional | The DNS of the Vault for which you want to generate a session. If specified, this optional vaultDNS body parameter overrides the value in the URI vaultDNS. If the requesting user cannot successfully authenticate to this vaultDNS, this request generates a session for the user’s most relevant available Vault. If this vaultDNS body parameter is omitted, this request instead generates a session for the domain specified in the URI vaultDNS. |
Response Details
On SUCCESS, this request returns a valid sessionId for any Vault DNS where the user has access.
The Vault DNS for the returned session is calculated in the following order:
- Generates a session for the DNS in the optional
vaultDNSbody parameter- If this
vaultDNSis invalid, generates a session for the user’s most relevant available Vault:- Generates a session for the Vault where the user last logged in
- If the user has never logged in, or if the last logged-in Vault is inactive, generates a session for the oldest active Vault where that user is a member
- If the user is not a member of any active Vaults, the user cannot authenticate and the API returns
FAILURE
- If this
- If the optional
vaultDNSbody parameter is omitted, generates a session for the DNS specified in thevaultDNSURI parameter- If this
vaultDNSis invalid, generates a session for the user’s most relevant available Vault:- Generates a session for the Vault where the user last logged in
- If the user has never logged in, or if the last logged-in Vault is inactive, generates a session for the oldest active Vault where that user is a member
- If the user is not a member of any active Vaults, the user cannot authenticate and the API returns
FAILURE
- If this
An invalid DNS is any DNS which the specified user cannot access, for example, if the DNS does not exist, if the user does not exist in that DNS, or if all Vaults in that DNS are inactive.
It is best practice to inspect the response, compare the desired Vault ID with the list of returned vaultIds, and confirm the DNS matches the expected login.
This API only returns FAILURE if it is unable to return a valid sessionId for any Vault the user can access.

Content-Type | application/x-www-form-urlencoded |
Accept | application/json (default) or application/xml |
Body Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
docIds | Input a comma-separated list of document id field values. |
Response Details
The response includes all fields shared by the three documents (docIds=101,102,103).
Vault allows you to reuse fields across multiple document types by creating shared fields, which exist outside the context of a document type. You can create shared fields or convert existing fields into shared fields in the Vault Admin application. If a shared field is only used in one document type, you can also convert it to a non-shared field. All document fields include the Boolean shared document field. A value of true indicates which the field is shared and the following additional fields are included:
Note the following field metadata:
| Metadata Field | Description |
|---|---|
shared | May be set to true or false. |
usedIn (key) | When "shared": true, this lists the document types/subtypes/classifications which share the field. |
usedIn (type) | When "shared": true, this indicates if the shared field is defined at the document type, subtype, or classification level. |
Retrieve Document Types
Document type refers both to the structure of hierarchical fields (Type > Subtype > Classification) that determines the relevant document fields, rendition types, and other settings for a document, and to the highest level in that hierarchy. Learn about Configuring Document Types in Vault Help.

Retrieve Documents
The following rules govern document retrieval:
- Vault only returns documents to which the logged in user has been given access (even if more documents exist).
- Unless version operators are used, Vault only returns the latest version of each document.
- Vault returns a maximum of 200 documents per page. This can be changed (lowered) using the
limitoperator. Learn more below.
Identifying Binders
- A document pseudo-field
binder__vindicates whether the returned document is a regular document or a binder. - The value of
truemeans it is a binder,falseor absence of this field means it is a document. - If it is a binder, the binder node structure is not listed as part of the response and must be determined through the appropriate Binder API call.
Identifying CrossLink Documents
- A document pseudo-field
crosslink__vindicates whether the returned document is a regular document or a CrossLink document. - The value of
truemeans it is a CrossLink.

POST /api/{version}/objects/documents
Headers
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Content-Type | multipart/form-data |
Accept | application/json (default) or application/xml |
Body Parameters
There are multiple ways to create a document.
Create Document from Uploaded File
Most documents in your Vault are created from uploaded source files, such as a file from your computer. Learn about Supported File Formats in Vault Help. Once uploaded with values assigned to document fields, Vault generates the viewable rendition, e.g., “mydocument.docx.pdf”. Learn about Viewable Renditions in Vault Help.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
file | The filepath of the source document. The maximum allowed file size is 4GB. |
type__v | The name of the document type to assign to the new document. |
subtype__v | The name of the document subtype (if one exists on the document type). |
classification__v | The name of the document classification (if one exists on the document subtype). |
lifecycle__v | The name of the document lifecycle to assign to the new document. |
major_version_number__v | The major version number to assign to the new document. |
minor_version_number__v | The minor version number to assign to the new document. |
Create Document from Template
When you create the new document, Vault copies the template file and uses that copy as the source file for the new document. This process bypasses the content upload process and allows for more consistent document creation. Document templates are associated with a specific document type, like documents themselves. Learn about Document Templates in Vault Help.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
fromTemplate | The name of the template to apply. |
type__v | The name of the document type to assign to the new document. |
subtype__v | The name of the document subtype (if applicable). |

lifecycle__v | The name of the document lifecycle to assign to the new document. |
major_version_number__v | The major version number to assign to the new document. |
minor_version_number__v | The minor version number to assign to the new document. |
Create Content Placeholder Document
Creating a content placeholder document is just like creating a document from an uploaded file, but the file parameter is not included in the request. Learn about Content Placeholders in Vault Help. Admin may set other standard or custom document fields to required in your Vault.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
name__v | The name of the new document. |
type__v | The name of the document type to assign to the new document. |
subtype__v | The name of the document subtype (if one exists on the document type). |
classification__v | The name of the document classification (if one exists on the document subtype). |
lifecycle__v | The name of the document lifecycle to assign to the new document. |
major_version_number__v | The major version number to assign to the new document. |
minor_version_number__v | The minor version number to assign to the new document. |
Create Unclassified Document
Unclassified documents are documents which have a source file, but no document type. Learn about Unclassified Documents in Vault Help.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
file | The filepath of the source document. The maximum allowed file size is 4GB. |
type__v | Set the document type to “Undefined”. |

In eTMF Vaults, you can also (optionally) set the following fields:
product__vstudy__vstudy_country__vsite__v
Any other fields included in the input will be ignored. The document name__v will default to the name of the uploaded file.
Create CrossLink Document
When creating a CrossLink document, you must include all document fields that are required for the specified document type/subtype/classification and no file is uploaded. You must also specify the Vault ID and document ID for the source document which will be bound to the new CrossLink document. Learn about CrossLinks in Vault Help.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
name__v | The name of the new CrossLink document. |
type__v | The name of the document type to assign to the new CrossLink document. |

source_document_id__v | The document id field value of the source document that will be bound to the new CrossLink document. |
source_binding_rule__v | Optional: Possible values are Latest version, Latest Steady State version, or Specific Document version. These define which version of the source document will be bound to the CrossLink document. If not specified, this defaults to the Latest Steady State version. |
bound_source_major_version__v | Optional: When the source_binding_rule__v is set to Specific Document version, you must specify the major version number of the source document to bind to the CrossLink document. |
bound_source_minor_version__v | Optional: When the source_binding_rule__v is set to Specific Document version, you must specify the minor version number of the source document to bind to the CrossLink document. |

Headers
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Accept | application/json (default) or application/xml |
URI Path Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
{doc_id} | The document id field value. |
Response Details
Shown above, document id 565 has two different attachments. Attachment id 566 is an image file with two versions. Attachment id 567 is a Word document with three versions. Unlike “regular” document versioning, attachment versioning uses integer numbers beginning with 1 and incrementing sequentially (1, 2, 3,…). There is no concept of major or minor version numbers with attachments.

URI Path Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
{doc_id} | The document id field value. |
{attachment_id} | The attachment id field value. |
Response Details
The md5checksum__v field is calculated on the latest version of the attachment. If an attachment is added which has the same MD5 checksum value as an existing attachment on a given document, the new attachment is not added.
Vault Document Attachments include the following fields (metadata):
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
id | ID of the attachment. This is set by the system. |
version__v | Version of the attachment. Attachment versioning uses integer numbers beginning with 1 and incrementing sequentially (1, 2, 3,…). There is no concept of major or minor version numbers with attachments. |
filename__v | File name of the attachment. |
description__v | Optional description added to the attachment. You can add descriptions up to 1000 characters in length. |
format__v | File format of the attachment. You can add any type of file as an attachment. |
size__v | File size of the attachment. You can add up to 50 attachments to a document; each must be under 2GB. |
md5checksum__v | MD5 checksum value calculated for the attachment. To avoid creating identical versions, Vault assigns each a checksum value. When you add an attachment with the same file name and checksum value, Vault ignores the new file and does not version the existing attachment. |
created_by__v | User ID of the person who created the attachment. |
created_date__v | Date the attachment was created. |
versions[n] | List of links to earlier versions of the attachment. |

The Vault Document Tokens API allows you to generate document access tokens needed by the external viewer to view documents outside of Vault. Learn more.
POST /api/{version}/objects/documents/tokens
Headers
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Content-Type | application/x-www-form-urlencoded |
Accept | application/json (default) or application/xml |
Body Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
docIds | Required: Include the docIds request parameter with a comma-separated string of document id values. This will generate tokens for each document. For example: docIds=101,102,103,104 |
expiryDateOffset | Optional: Include the expiryDateOffset request parameter set to the number of days after which the tokens will expire and the documents will no longer be available in the viewer. If not specified, the tokens will expire after 10 years by default. |
downloadOption | Optional: Include the downloadOption request parameter set to PDF, source, both, or none. These allow users viewing the document to be able to download a PDF version or source version (Word, PPT, etc.) of the document. If not specified, the download options default to those set on each document. |
channel | Optional: Include the channel request parameter set to the website object record id value that corresponds to the distribution channel where the document is being made available. |
tokenGroup | Include the tokenGroup request parameter. This only required if you want to group together generated tokens for multiple documents in order to display the documents being referenced in the same viewer. This value accepts strings of alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and single consecutive underscores) up to 255 characters in length. The token that is passed as a URL parameter to the External Viewer is the primary token and the document it references will be displayed normally. However, any additional documents that have tokens generated with the same case-sensitive tokenGroup string will be displayed in a sidebar of the viewer. The order of documents in the sidebar depends on the order in which the tokens are generated. If multiple tokens are generated with one request, the documents will be ordered top-to-bottom based on the order they are passed to the docIds parameter. For example: If passing the parameters docIds=101,102,103,104 and tokenGroup=group_1 with the request, the top-to-bottom order in the sidebar will be documents 101, 102, 103, 104. If a new request is then made with the parameters docIds=105 and tokenGroup=group_1, document 105 will be added below document 104 in the previous list. |
Response Details
In the example above, tokens are generated for the first three documents. The fourth document could not be found. This indicates either an incorrect document id or that the specified document is a binder.
Binders
Binders organize documents, sections, and other binders into a hierarchical structure that is useful for packaging related documents together for easier management or eventual publishing. Binders are a kind of document and many of the Document API calls, such as metadata, retrieving and setting properties, security, etc. can be used directly on a binder and will not be replicated here. All API calls related to files and renditions will not work on a binder object. Binders do have unique APIs that allow for interrogating and manipulating the binder structure.

In Vault, binders are just another kind of document. Therefore, to retrieve a list of all binders in your Vault, you must use the same API endpoint to retrieve documents. By searching the response, you can distinguish binders from documents by using the document field binder__v set to true or false. See the response details below. Note that nested binders (a binder contained within another binder) are not retrieved.
This endpoint does not retrieve binder sections, which means the response will not include binders within other binder sections. To retrieve all metadata configured on a binder, including sections, you must use the binder IDs retrieved from this request in the Retrieve Binder endpoint.
Alternatively, you can use VQL to find just binders SELECT id FROM documents WHERE binder__v=true. See the Vault Query Language documentation for details.

|---|---|
{binder_id} | The binder id field value. |
Retrieve all fields and values configured on a specific binder in you Vault. By default, the response only includes the first level (root) of the binder structure. To retrieve all levels, use one of the depth parameters described below.
Query Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
depth | To retrieve all information in all levels of the binder, set this to all. By default, only one level is returned. |
Response Details
The abridged response above shows fields and values configured on binder "id": 29, including the first level of binder nodes in the binder’s structure. In this first level, there is one document "id": 567 and two sections "section_number__v": "1" and "section_number__v": "2". The second example below, uses the depth=all request parameter to retrieve all levels of binder nodes in the binder’s structure.
On SUCCESS, Vault retrieves the fields and components of the binder in a hierarchical structure clearly showing the parent-child relationships for each item and maintaining the specific order of the objects in each level.
Response Details
For each node in a binder, the API returns the following fields:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
nodes [n] | List of all nodes (documents and sections) at each level in the binder. |
properties [n] | List of all properties associated with each document or section node. |
order__v | Order of the node (document or section) within the binder or within the binder section. Note: There is a known issue affecting this parameter. It may not accurately reflect order. |
section_number__v | Optional number which can be added to each section. |
type | Type of node (document or section). |
document_id__v | The document ID of the document in the binder. This is the same as the document’s actual document id |
id | The document ID or section ID specific to the binder. For documents, this is different from the document’s actual document id. |
parent_id__v | Section ID of the parent node, e.g., “rootNode”. |
name__v | Name of the document or section. For sections, this is the name of the “subfolder” seen in the binder hierarchy in the UI. |
major_version_number__v | If the document binding rule is “specific”, this is major version number of the document. |
minor_version_number__v | If the document binding rule is “specific”, this is minor version number of the document. |

Reclassify allows you to change the document type of an existing binder. A document “type” is the combination of the type__v, subtype__v, and classification__v fields on a binder. When you reclassify, Vault may add or remove certain fields on the binder. You can only reclassify the latest version of a binder and only one binder at a time. The API does not currently support Bulk Reclassify.

Response Details
Binder “nodes” are individual sections or documents in the binder template hierarchy. These can include folders and subfolders in the binder or documents existing within the sections.
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
id | For a given binder, these are the binder node (section or planned document) IDs. |
parent_id__v | For a given binder template node, this is the node ID of its parent node. The top-level node is the rootNode. |
node_type__v | Binder node types include section and planned_document (content placeholder documents within the binder template). |
label__v | Binder template node label (name). For section node types, this is the name of the folder within the binder template. Example: "label__v": "Operational Procedures". For planned document node types, this is the name of the content placeholder document and may include document field tokens. Example: "label__v": "${study_b} - ${site_b} Operational Procedure". |
number__v | These apply to binder section node types and are a numerical representation of the section’s hierarchy within the binder template. Example: Given two folders in a binder (under the root node), each containing three subfolders, the first and second folder numbers would be 01 and 02, respectively. The three subfolder numbers within the first and second folders would then be 01.01, 01.02, 01.03 and 02.01, 02.02, 02.03, respectively. |
order__v | Order of the node within the binder or within the parent node. Note: There is a known issue affecting this parameter. It may not accurately reflect order. |
type__v | Name of the document type to which templates are associated. |
subtype__v | Name of the document subtype to which templates are associated. |
classification__v | Name of the document classification to which templates are associated. |
lifecycle__v | Name of the binder lifecycle to which templates are associated. |
document_template__v | Name of the planned document template. |
milestone_type__v | eTMF Vaults only. Name of the milestone type associated with the planned document template. |
hierarchy_mapping__v | eTMF Vaults only. Object ID pointing to the lowest level in the TMF reference model. |
| Metadata Field | Description |
|---|---|
name | The binder template node field name (id, parent_id__v, node_type__v, etc.). |
type | The binder template field type. This can be one of ID, String, Number, Enum, or Component. |
requiredness | Indicates whether or not a value must be added when creating a binder template. These include: - required : A value must be added.- conditional : For a template to exist at the document subtype or classification level, this is required. |
editable | Boolean (true/false) field indicating whether or not a value can be added or edited by a user when creating or updating a binder template. |
multi_value | Boolean (true/false) field indicating whether or not the field can have multiple values. |
component | The component property applies to the type__v, subtype__v, classification__v, and lifecycle__v fields and defines the data type that can be set into this field. |

PUT /api/{version}/objects/binders/templates
Headers
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Content-Type | application/json or text/csv |
Accept | application/json (default) or application/xml |
Body Parameters
You can update the following fields on binder templates:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
name__v | Change the name of existing binder templates. |
label__v | Change the label of existing binder templates. This is the name users will see among the available binder templates in the UI. |
type__v | Change the document type to which the templates are associated. |
subtype__v | Change the document subtype to which the templates are associated. This is only required if associating the templates with document subtypes. |
classification__v | Change the document classification to which the templates are associated. This is only required if associating the templates with document classifications. |
active__v | Set to true or false to indicate whether or not the binder templates should be set to active, i.e., available for selection when creating a binder. |
Example CSV Input
name__v | label__v | active__v |
|---|---|---|
| binder_template_2__c | Second Binder Template | true |
| binder_template_3__c | Binder Template 3 | true |
| binder_template_4__c | Binder Template 4 | false |
In this example input, we’re updating three existing binder templates in our Vault.
- On the first template, we’re updating both the
name__vandlabel__vvalues. - On the second template, we’re updating the
name__vvalue and setting theactive__vvalue totrue. - On the third template, we’re updating the
name__vvalue and setting theactive__vvalue tofalse.
Including a binder field name in the input but leaving its value blank will clear existing values from the field.
In this example:
- The input file format is set to CSV.
- The response format is not set and will default to JSON.
- The path/name of the CSV input file in our local directory is specified.
Response Details
On SUCCESS, Vault returns the names of the updated binder templates.

Objects
Each Vault is configured with a set of standard objects (product__v, country__v, study__v, etc.). These vary by application and configuration.
Admins may also create custom objects (region__c, agency__c, manufacturer__c, etc.). Vault limits the total number of custom objects that Admins can create in a single Vault. By default, the limit is 20.
- The API supports retrieval of Vault Objects and their metadata.
- The API does not support creating or updating Vault Objects. This must be done by Admin in the UI.
Each object can have multiple object records. For example, the product__v object may have records for products named CholeCap, Nyaxa, and WonderDrug. All object records are user-defined.
- The API supports retrieval of Vault Object Records and their metadata.
- The API supports creating, updating, and deleting object records.

Retrieve all records for a specific Vault Object.
GET /api/{version}/vobjects/{object_name}
Headers
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Accept | application/json (default) or application/xml |
URI Path Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
{object_name} | The object name__v field value (product__v, country__v, custom_object__c, etc.). |
Query Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
fields | To specify fields to retrieve, include the parameter fields={FIELD_NAMES}. See the next request below for details. |
Response Details
The response includes the object metadata for the specified object and the id and name__v of all object records configured on the object.
Limit, Sort, and Paginate Results
By default, Vault returns a maximum of 200 object records per page. You can change (lower) this using the limit operator. For example, to limit the number of records to 20 per page:
$ curl -X GET -H "Authorization: {SESSION_ID}" \
https://myvault.veevavault.com/api/v15.0/vobjects/study__v?limit=20
The limit operator must be a positive integer. Values over 200 are ignored.
You can change the response to sort in descending desc or ascending asc order based on an object field. For example, to sort by the name of each product in descending order:
$ curl -X GET -H "Authorization: {SESSION_ID}" \
https://myvault.veevavault.com/api/v15.0/vobjects/study__v?sort=name__v desc
With a maximum of 200 records returned per page, you must submit a new request to see the “next page” of results (when more than 200 object records exist). Vault provides two methods to accomplish pagination: the offset operator and the next_page/previous_page URLs.
The offset operator is used in request in the same way as the limit operator above. For example, if you’re viewing the first page of 200 results (default maximum per page) out of 1000 total results found and want to see the next 200 results, enter offset=201.
$ curl -X GET -H "Authorization: {SESSION_ID}" \
https://myvault.veevavault.com/api/v15.0/vobjects/study__v?offset=201
The offset operator must be a positive integer. Values equaling to a number larger than the total number of records in the collection will not return any results.
To use limit, offset, and sort together, structure the string in the following manner:
$ curl -X GET -H "Authorization: {SESSION_ID}" \
https://myvault.veevavault.com/api/v15.0/vobjects/study__v?limit=10&offset=51&sort=name__v desc
The request shown above will return 10 results per page, starting with page 5 (results 51-60), and sort the results by the object record name in descending order.
Alternatively, you can use the next_page/previous_page URLs in the response to paginate results. Consider the following abridged response for an object record request:
{
"responseStatus": "SUCCESS",
"responseDetails": {
"total": 1000,
"limit": 200,
"offset": 601,
"previous_page": "/api/v15.0/vobjects/study__v?limit=200&offset=401",
"next_page": "/api/v15.0/vobjects/study__v?limit=200&offset=801",
"object": {
}
}
}
There are a total of 1000 object records found. We used the default maximum of 200 records per page and offset the results to 601, meaning this response is displaying results 601-800 (page 3). Notice the next_page URL shows a limit of 200 and offset of 401 (to view page 4) and the previous_page URL shows a limit of 200 and offset of 801 (to view page 4.).
The pagination URLs are automatically provided in the response when the number of records exceeds the maximum number of results per page. These strings can be used to basically “copy and paste” your next query to paginate the entire result set. The numbers at the end of the string (?limit=200&offset=801") can also be modified with different limits and offsets before using the string to change the pagination.
Note that the next_page and previous_page strings only remain active for about 15 minutes following the query.
Retrieve Specific Object Record Fields
You can augment the request to retrieve fields other than the default object record id and name__v by using the fields parameter and a comma-delimited list of object field names.

- The maximum batch size is 500.
Note that you can only add relationships on object fields using ID values or based on a unique field on the target object. This API does not support object lookup fields.
POST /api/{version}/vobjects/{object_name}
Headers
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Content-Type | text/csv or application/json |
Accept | application/json (default) or text/csv |
URI Path Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
{object_name} | The name of the object, for example, product__v. |
Body Parameters
Upload parameters as a JSON or CSV file.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
name__v | This field is required unless it is set to system-managed. To find out if an object uses system-managed naming, retrieve its name__v field and look for the system_managed_name property set to true or false. Learn more about system-managed naming in Vault Help. |
object_type__v | Optional: To create objects of a specific object type, add this field with the id of the object type. |
object_type__v.api_name__v | Optional: To create objects of a specific object type, add this field with the name of the object type. |
source_record_id | Optional: To copy an existing object record, add this field with the id of the existing object record. Any values specified for other fields will override the copied values. If you want to make a deep copy of a record, see the Deep Copy endpoint. |
Note that if object_type__v and object_type__v.api_name__v are both included, Vault creates the object with the type specified in object_type__v.
Query Parameters: Upsert Object Records
Upsert is a combination of create and update. With idParam, you can identify an object record by any unique object field. This allows you to use one input file to create new object records and update existing records at the same time. If a matching record exists, Vault updates the record with the unique field values specified in the input. If no matching object record exists, Vault creates a new record using the values in the input.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
idParam | To upsert object records, add idParam={field_name} to the request endpoint. For example, idParam=external_id__v. Note that the specified object field must have unique set to true in the object metadata. |
Admin may set other standard or custom object fields to required. Use the Object Metadata API to retrieve all fields configured on objects. You can add any object field with editable: true.
Note that if an object has a field default configured, the value you use for that field overrides the default.

Object Types
Vault Objects can be can be partitioned into Object Types. For example, a Product object may have two different object types: “Pharmaceutic Product” and “Medical Device Product”. These object types may share some fields but also have fields only used in each object type. By using object types, two product groups can not only manage data specific to their business but also easily report on products in both groups.

file | Use the file parameter to specify the location of the submission folder and files or ZIP file previously uploaded to your FTP staging server. Learn more. |
Response Details
- The Content-Type header is set to accept a name-value pair input.
- The
fileparameter specifies the location/name of the folder or ZIP file to be imported. The file must be located in the “SubmissionsArchive” folder on your FTP staging server.
On SUCCESS, the response includes the following information:
job_id- The Job ID value is used to retrieve the status and results of the binder export request.url- The URL to retrieve the current status of the import request.
You may also receive one or more warnings. The warnings shown above indicate that the folders being imported do not match the object records in our Vault. We can either change the names in either location or simply ignore the warnings.
Additional notes:
Before submitting this request, we created a submission__v object record and application__v object record in our Vault. We also created submissions ZIP file containing a “Submission” folder and “Application” folder. This was loaded to our FTP staging server awaiting import. Ideally, we would have named and structured the folders to match that of the submission that was sent to the health authority and which we are now archiving. However, this is not critical to the import process.

Document Roles
Documents and binders can have different roles available to them depending on their document type and lifecycles. Roles are important in that users and groups get assigned to document roles both at document creation time as well as during document workflows. There are a set of default roles that ship with Vault – Owner, Coordinator, Editor, Approver, Reviewer, Viewer, and Consumer. In addition, Admins can create custom roles defined per lifecycle that reflect business roles that are particular to a document type. Regardless of how a role was assigned, they have specific permissions on a document based on a lifecycle state.
Through the Roles APIs, you can retrieve available roles for a document, determine who can be assigned to the role, default users that get assigned automatically within the Vault UI, and who is currently assigned to the role. You can also add additional users and groups to a role and remove users and groups as needed. Note that all user and group information is returned as IDs and you need to use the Retrieve User or Retrieve Group API to determine the name, etc.

Query Parameters
Using the endpoint alone with no optional parameters will retrieve users assigned only to the Vault in which the request is made. For customers with multiple Vaults in their domain, users with Domain Admin, System Admin, and Vault Owner privileges can access user information across different Vaults in the domain by including the optional parameter vaults set to one of the following values:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
vaults=all | Retrieve all users assigned to all Vaults in your domain. |
vaults=-1 | Retrieve all users assigned to all Vaults in your domain except for the Vault in which the request is made. |
vaults={Vault IDs} | Retrieve all users assigned to Vault ID 3003, Vault ID 4004, and Vault ID 5005. Use a comma-separated list of Vault IDs to retrieve users assigned only to the specified Vaults. |
System Admins and Vault Owners must have administrative access to Vault applications referenced in the vaults parameter to be able to access users from those Vault.
The response also supports pagination. By default the page limit is set to 200 records. The pagination parameters are:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
limit | [optional, default is 200] the size of the result set in the page |
start | [optional, default is 0] the starting record number |
sort | [optional, default is “id asc”] the sort order for the result set (asc - ascending, desc - descending) (e.g. user_name__v asc) |

URI Path Parameters

Create Users
Create new user accounts or add existing users as cross-domain users. Learn more about cross-domain users in Vault Help. Note that users only receive welcome emails if they are assigned to a Vault. For example, a new domain user who does not have any assigned Vaults will not receive a welcome email.
Suppressing Welcome Emails: When creating new users, you can prevent Vault from sending welcome emails to a user by setting the user_needs_to_change_password__v setting to false. This does not work for users with SSO security profiles, but you can work around this limitation by creating the users with a basic security profile and updating them to the SSO security profile with an update action.

Request Details: Add User to Domain
On SUCCESS, the user account is created and set to active. The new user is not assigned a license type or security profile, nor do they have access to any Vaults in your domain. This means they will not receive a welcome email.
Request Details: Add User to Current Vault
This request adds one new user to your domain and assigns them to the Vault where the request was made. They will receive a welcome email with instructions for logging into the Vault, and they will not have access to any other Vaults in your domain. To give them access to other Vaults, see Update Vault Membership.
This example request includes all fields required to create a new user, and two optional fields (security profile and license type). If these optional fields were not included in the request, the user would be assigned the document_user__v security profile and full__v license type by default.
Request Details: Add Cross-Domain User

Vault Membership
To assign user permissions across Vaults or create cross-domain users, you must include the vault_membership field and configured with the following fields:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
id | The Vault ID to assign the user to. |
active__v | Optional: Set the user to active (true) or inactive (false). If not specified, default value is true. |
security_profile__v | Optional: Set the user’s security profile, for example, read_only_user__v. If not specified, this value defaults to document_user__v. |
license_type__v | Optional: Set the user’s license type, for example, read_only__v. If not specified, this value defaults to full__v. |

vault_membership |
|---|
3003:true:system_admin__v:full__v |
Application Licensing
To add a user to specific applications within a Vault or across Vaults, you must include the app_licensing column configured with the following fields:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
vault_id | The Vault ID to assign the user to. |
active__v | Optional: Set the user to active (true) or inactive (false). If not specified, default value is true. |
application_name | The application to add the user to. Possible values are:
|
license_type__v | Optional: Set the user’s license type, for example, read_only__v. |
The format for adding these fields is:
{vault_id}|{application_name}{:active__v}{:license_type__v}
To add a user to more than one application, separate the applications with a pipe. To add a user to applications in multiple Vaults, separate the Vaults with a semicolon. For example:
app_licensing |
|---|
3003|rimReg_v:true:full__v|rimSubs_v:true:full__v;4112|rimSubs_v:true:full__v |
This adds an active user to both RIM Registrations and RIM Submissions in Vault ID 3003, and to the RIM Submissions application in Vault ID 4112, all with the full__v license type.

Request: Disable User at Domain-Level
Only Domain Admins may use this request.
When updating a user, domain_active__v can be (optionally) included in the input and set to either true or false to enable or disable the user at the domain-level. Disabling a user at the domain-level will disable the user in every Vault in your domain. Re-enabling a user enables them in the domain but does not re-activate them in their Vaults. After re-enabling a user, you must update their Vault membership to make them active in the individual Vaults.
This request will set the user (ID: 25001) profile to inactive in all Vaults in your domain. The user will still be a member in the Vaults and retain their license types and security profiles, but their user profile will be inactive and they will no longer have access to any Vaults in your domain.
Request: Example: Re-Enable User at Domain-Level
Only Domain Admins may use this request.
This request will set the (previously inactive) user (ID: 25001) profile to active in your Vault domain. However, they will still be inactive in and unable to access your domain Vaults. Use the Update Vault Membership request below to set their status to active in the individual Vaults in your domain.
Request: Promote a User to Domain Admin
Only Domain Admins may use this request.
This request will promote a user to Domain Admin. To remove a user from the Domain Admin role, set the is_domain_admin__v field to false. Each domain must have at least one user in the Domain Admin role.

This request will assign the user (ID: 25001) to the Vault (ID: 3003). There are a few default settings that will be applied here:
The user’s status will be set to active in the Vault. This is the default setting; the active__v=true parameter can be omitted and produce the same results. We’ve not included the optional security_profile__v and license_type__v in the input. Therefore, the user will be assigned a full__v license type and document_user__v security profile by default.

This request will set the user (ID: 25001) profile to inactive in the Vault (ID: 3003). They will still be a member in the Vault and retain their license type and security profile, but their user profile will be inactive and they will no longer have access to the Vault.
Request Details: Set Security Profile & License Type
This request will set the user (ID: 25001) security profile and license type to specific values in the Vault (ID: 3003). If the user is already a member of the Vault, this will change their security profile and license type. If the user is not a member of the Vault, this will assign them to the Vault, set their status to active, and their security profile and license type to the specified values.

Groups
Groups are key to managing user access in Vault. A group is simply a named list of users. By defining groups which reflect the teams and roles in your company, and then assigning those groups to document roles, you can manage document access more easily and efficiently. In Vaults using Dynamic Access Control (DAC) for documents, Vault also automatically creates groups that correspond to one lifecycle role and additional document field criteria. These are called Auto Managed Groups.

CAUTION: Use caution when editing picklist labels or names. When these attributes are changed, they affect all existing document and object metadata that refer to the picklist. For users in the UI who are accustomed to seeing a particular selection, the changes may cause confusion. This may also break existing integrations that access picklist values via the API.

Document Lifecycle & Workflows
Document lifecycles are the sequences of states (Draft, In Review, etc.) a document goes through during its life. A lifecycle can be simple (two states requiring users to manually move between states) or very complex (multiple states with different security and workflows that automatically move the document to another state). In Vault, lifecycles simplify the implementation of business logic that traditionally required custom coding or time-consuming manual setup.
Lifecycle states are the ordered states within a lifecycle represent the stages a document transitions through as users create, review, approve and eventually archive or replace it. A set of business rules applies to each state and defines what happens to the document in that state. Admins define these rules for each lifecycle state and Vault automatically applies them to every document that enters the state.
Business Rules: Each state has the following configuration options:
- User Actions: Actions that end users can perform on a document.
- Security Settings: Permissions that users in each role have for a document.
- Entry Criteria: Conditions that a document must meet before transitioning into this state.
- Entry Actions: Actions that Vault performs automatically when a document enters this state.
Learn about Lifecycles & Workflows in Vault Help.
Document & Binder User Actions
The API supports initiation of the following user action types:
- Workflow
- State Change
- Controlled Copy
- Create Presentation
Your Vault may include other user action types, all of which cannot be initiated through the Vault API.
Entry Criteria
Before users can initiate a user action, the document or binder must satisfy certain entry criteria. Entry requirements are dynamic and depend on the lifecycle configuration, entry criteria defined for the lifecycle state, and/or the workflow activation requirements defined in the Start Step of the workflow.
Property Scope
The API specifies the scope for the each requirement:
- Document scope means that the property is document-level and must be updated on the document before initiating the user action.
- Binder scope means that the property is binder-level and must be updated on the binder before initiating the user action.
- Workflow scope means that the property is workflow-level and must be specified at the time of action initiation.
- Controlled Copy scope means that the property is controlled copy specific and must be specified at the time of action initiation.
Typical Implementation
In a typical implementation, the client requests the available user actions using the Get User Actions endpoint. The response to this call lists user actions that the current user can initiate on a document or a binder specified by its ID and version.
Overview of Steps
Step 1: Retrieve User Actions
- Retrieve a list of available user actions on a specific version of a document or binder.
- The response includes the name of each user action used to initiate the action and the endpoint to retrieve the entry criteria.
Step 2: Retrieve Entry Criteria
- Before initiating a user action, you need to ensure that the document or binder meets certain conditions (required fields are populated, etc.).
- For example, you don’t need to assign a user to the “Approver” role when the document is first uploaded, but you do need to when initiating the “Start Approval” workflow.
- Not all user actions have entry criteria. In these cases, you can simply proceed with initiation of the user action.
- When the entry criteria
"scope": "WorkflowActivation", the values can be specified as name-value pairs with the lifecycle initiation request. - When the entry criteria
"scope": "Document"or"scope": "Binder"the values must first be updated on the document or binder before initiating the request.
Step 3: Initiate User Action
- Once you’ve determined the entry criteria and completed those which must be configured separately, you can initiate the user action.
- Vault will evaluate whether all the entry criteria have been met and, if so, will initiate the user action on the specified version of the document or binder.

Request Details
This request is initiating a workflow activation user action on the document. We’re initiating the “Start Approval” workflow.
- Recall from the discussion in the previous section that the two entry criteria are to assign a values to the
dueDateandApproverfields. - The entry criteria Scope is set to WorkflowActivation (
"scope": "WorkflowActivation"), meaning the values can be included as a name-value pairs with the request. - Format the
dueDatevalue as shown above. To assign users and/or groups to theApproverrole, include a comma-separated list of user and groupidfield values.
On submitting this request, Vault will evaluate whether all the entry criteria have been met and, if so, initiate the user action.
Response Details
On SUCCESS, Vault returns the document id field value of the document on which the user action has been initiated and the workflow workflow_id__v field value of the workflow. This document ("id": 222) is now in the “Start Approval” workflow ("workflow_id__v": "115"). On FAILURE, Vault returns an error type and message describing the reason for the error. The user action will not be initiated until all errors have been corrected.
Request Details
This request is initiating a state change user action on the document. We’re changing the state from “Draft” to “Approved”.
- Recall from the discussion in the previous section that the only entry criteria is to assign a value to the document’s
country__vfield. - The entry criteria Scope is set to Document (
"scope": "Document"), meaning the country field value cannot be included as a name-value pair with the request. - Instead, before submitting this request, we used a separate Update Document request to update the country field on the document. This fulfilled the entry criteria.
- Therefore, we do not need to specify the input format (there is no input requirement) and the request can be submitted as shown in this example.
Response Details
On SUCCESS, Vault returns the document id field value of the document on which the user action has been initiated. This document ("id": 222) was previously version 0.1 (Draft State). It is now version 1.0 (Approved/Steady State). On FAILURE, Vault returns an error type and message describing the reason for the error. The user action will not be initiated until all errors have been corrected.

The response will include:
- The default role assignments
- The override role assignments when an override condition (when configured on the role) is met
- The override conditions (when configured on the role)
If you filter the results by one or more override conditions (product__v or country__v), the response will exclude the default role assignments and role assignments for the override conditions.
Request Details
Retrieve lifecycle role assignment rules from a specific role (editor__c) in a specific lifecycle (general_lifecycle__c):
Response Details
In this example response, the editor__c role in the general_lifecycle__c lifecycle is configured with the following role assignment rules:
Default Rule
When a document is assigned this lifecycle, the following users and groups are automatically assigned to the editor__c role:
allowed_default_users__v- The userally@veepharm.comis automatically assigned to the role.allowed_users__v- The usersbeth@veepharm.com,cruz@veepharm.com, anddave@veepharm.comcan be (optionally) assigned to the role at any time during the lifecycle.allowed_default_groups__v- The groupglobal_products_team__cis automatically assigned to the role.allowed_groups__v- The groupsvault_products_team__candvault_doc_management__ccan be (optionally) assigned to the role at any time during the lifecycle.
Override Conditions
This lifecycle role has been configured with two override conditions which state: If both the product “CholeCap” and country “United States” are assigned to a document, do not apply the default rule, but instead apply the override rule.
The API returns both the system-managed object record id and the user-defined object record name__v (via the object__v.name__v lookup) field values which define the override conditions:
"product__v.name__v": "CholeCap"- The product object record name."country__v.name__v": "United States"- The country object record name."product__v": "0PR0011001"- The product object record ID."country__v": "0CR0022002"- The country object record ID.
Override Rule
When both the product “CholeCap” and country “United States” are assigned (at any time) to a document in this lifecycle, the following (alternate) users and groups are automatically assigned to the editor__c role:
allowed_default_users__v- The useretta@veepharm.comis automatically assigned to the role.allowed_users__v- The usersfinn@veepharm.com,greg@veepharm.com, andhope@veepharm.comcan be (optionally) assigned to the role during its lifecycle.allowed_default_groups__v- The groupcholecap_us_docs_group__cis automatically assigned to the role.allowed_groups__v- The groupscholecap_us_research_group__c,cholecap_us_compliance_group__c, andcholecap_us_product_management_group__ccan be (optionally) assigned to the role during its lifecycle.

Object Lifecycle & Workflows
Object lifecycles are the sequences of states (Draft, In Review, etc.) an object record goes through during its life. A lifecycle can be simple (two states requiring users to manually move between states) or very complex (multiple states with different security and workflows that automatically move records to another state). In Vault, lifecycles simplify the implementation of business logic that traditionally required custom coding or time-consuming manual setup. A set of business rules applies to each state and defines what happens to an object record in each state. Admins define these rules for each lifecycle state and Vault automatically applies them to every object record that enters the state.
Learn about Lifecycles & Workflows in Vault Help.
Object Record User Actions
The API supports retrieval and initiation of user actions on Vault object records.

Workflows
A workflow is a series of steps configured in Vault to align with specific business processes. The different types of steps offer a flexible way to organize a wide variety of processes for an object record, including assigning tasks to users, sending notifications, and changing a record’s status. Workflow tasks can allow users to enter comments, choose verdicts (approve, deny, etc.), update required fields, or provide eSignatures.
Object workflows a specific to an object, meaning that a single workflow cannot apply to multiple objects. A single object record can only be in one workflow at a time.

}
The response of every API call includes a field called responseStatus. Possible values are:
SUCCESS- The API request was successfully processed.FAILURE- The API request could not be processed because of user error.EXCEPTION- The API request could not be processed because of system error.
For a responseStatus other than SUCCESS, users can inspect the errors field in the response. Each error includes the following fields:
type- The specific type of error, e.g.,INVALID_DATA,PARAMETER_REQUIRED, etc. See below for a full list oftypes. These values are not subject to change for a given version of the API, even when newer versions of the API are available.message- The message accompanying each error type, e.g.,Missing required parameter [{field_name}]. When available, the error message includes the specific reason, e.g., the{field_name}for the error. These messages are subject to change and are not contractual parts for error handling. Developers should consider error messages for debugging and troubleshooting purposes only and should not implement application logic which relies on specific error strings or formatting.
