## Overview

Lists the vaults on the server that the logged-in user can see. Use it to let a user pick a vault
or to find a vault's GUID by its name; then log in to that vault with
[LogIn](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/gRPC-API/Reference/MFiles.IRPCLogin/LogIn/index.md) or
[LogInWithSession](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/gRPC-API/Reference/MFiles.IRPCLogin/LogInWithSession/index.md).

[GetVaults](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/gRPC-API/Reference/MFiles.IRPCVaults/GetVaults/index.md) is the method to use. It accepts both a
server-level session (from a `LogIn` with the all-zero vault GUID) and a vault session.
`GetReplicasOfVaults` and `GetGroundLinkProxies` serve special deployments and return nothing on
an ordinary server. Server-level and vault sessions are described in
[Authentication and sessions](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/gRPC-API/runtime/authentication/index.md).
