Organization owners, admins, and some custom users can also take this step directly from the Admin Console to skip some of the steps in this process.
In the New collection panel give your collection a Name, choose the Organization it should belong to, and, optionally, select a collection to nest this collection under.
note
Collections can be nested in order to logically organize them within your vault:
Nested collection Nested collections are for display-purposes only. They will not inherit items, access, or permissions from their "parent" collection.
In the Access tab, assign access to any existing members or groups. For each selection, assign the appropriate level of permission. As the creator of the collection, you will have Manage collection permission.
Select Save to finish creating your collection.
