# Field encryption with Vault module agentic workflow

# Field encryption with Vault module agentic workflow {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Use the field encryption with Vault module agentic workflow to encrypt specific fields and configure secure access to users with designated roles.

## Field encryption with Vault module agentic workflow overview

Add field encryption protection and improve your security posture with the field encryption with Vault module agentic workflow.

When you install ServiceNow Otto for Vault, this agentic workflow is turned on by default.

To modify the agentic workflow, [duplicate it](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=clone-aia-usecase&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US), and adjust the settings according to your requirements.  
Note:  
To encrypt a field and create its module access policies in the same conversation, use the field encryption and auto-generate access policies agentic workflow. See [Field encryption and auto-generate access policies agentic workflow](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/nNIZMejvXnS6jRYmb2DdYA "The field encryption and auto-generate access policies agentic workflow encrypts a table field and creates the access policies that its roles need.").

## Use the field encryption with Vault module

Encrypt specific fields and configure user access. The workflow requires the following roles:

* sn_vault_console.vault_console_admin
* security_admin
* sn_kmf.admin
* sn_kmf.cryptographic_manager

Elevate to the roles that appear in the Elevate role list by selecting your profile icon and then selecting Elevate role.  
Note:  
The `security_admin` role isn't included in the `sn_vault_console.vault_console_admin` role composition and doesn't appear in the Elevate role list. A user with the admin role must assign it through the standard user-administration process. If the workflow reports that you don't have the `security_admin` role, or that the role isn't active for your session, contact your admin. For more information, see [ServiceNow Vault roles](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/29JMuATlNAn~6s6~53FNbg "Learn and set up the roles necessary to use ServiceNow Vault.").  
To access and configure the agentic workflow:

1. Navigate to AllAI Agent StudioCreate and manage.
2. Select Field Encryption with Vault module.  
Note:  
The field encryption with Vault module agentic workflow is triggered automatically when you secure custom applications using ServiceNow Vault console dashboard. You can also invoke the agentic workflow manually in the ServiceNow Otto panel.
