## Assign your account to a local vault

To assign a local vault to your account, you must complete the following steps:

1. Log in to your [Cerby](https://app.cerby.com/) workspace.
2. Select the **All accounts** option from the left navigation drawer. The **All accounts** view is displayed.
3. Click the **Settings** icon of the corresponding account card. The account details page is displayed with the **Settings** tab activated.
4. Expand the **Vault Settings** section. The list of vaults to which the account belongs is displayed.
5. Click the **Assign to vault** button. The **Confirm Vault Assignment** dialog box is displayed.
6. Click the **Select a vault** field to display a drop-down list of the existing vaults in the workspace.
7. Select the local vault you want to assign from the **Select a vault** field.\
   **NOTE:** The local vault must previously exist in the workspace. You can create a new vault only if you are a workspace **Owner**, **Super Admin**, or **Admin**. For more information, read the [Create and manage a vault ](https://help.cerby.com/setup-and-admin/vault-management/create-a-vault)document.\
   **TIP:** You can see if a vault is cloud or local next to its name.
8. Click the **Next** button. The **Assign a vault** dialog box is displayed with information about what occurs when you assign your account to a local vault.
9. Click the **Assign to vault** button. The dialog box closes, and a success message box is displayed.

Now you are done.
