Sponsors can use Vault to facilitate the exchange of clinical trial information with study sites. Site users have much of the same document interaction capabilities as standard Vault users. However, Vault behavior for site users is tailored to specifically provide functionality for coordinators, investigators, and other clinical study site personnel.

## Multi-Site Document Distribution

With multi-site document distribution (MSDD), sponsors can send a document workflow task to multiple sites at once, track overall workflow completion, and track completion for individual sites. For details about setting up this workflow, see [Configuring Multi-Site Document Distribution](/en/lr/45128/). For details about starting these workflows, see [Multi-Site Document Distribution](/en/lr/45119/).

## Site User License Type

When creating new Vault users, sponsors can assign the _Site User_ (`site_user__v`) [license type](/en/lr/5721/). Only users with the _Site User_ license type see the Site User Homepage, which allows site users to more easily access study information and documents and complete study tasks. Note that site users' security profiles must also include the _Tabs: Home_ (`site_user_home__v`) permission in order to access the Site User Homepage and the _User: View User Profile_ permission to view their [user profiles](/en/lr/7239/).

Sponsors can also manage all site users with the _All Site Users_ (`all_site_users__v`) [standard user group](/en/lr/3200/).

### About the Safety Information Pane

Admins can configure the _Safety Information_ pane to display on the Site User Homepage, which shows only safety-related tasks such as safety reports a site needs to acknowledge. To enable the _Safety Information_ pane, Admins must navigate to **Settings > Application Settings > Site Users** and select a _Safety Information Document Type Group_. The selected _Document Type Group_ should be configured on only safety-related document types. For more information about setting up _Document Type Groups_, see [About Dynamic Access Control for Documents](/en/lr/31824/#document-type-groups).

### Site User Privacy {#privacy}

For increased privacy, site users (users with the _Site User_ license type) are not granted the _View User Information_ permission. Without this permission, site users cannot see identifying details for other site users, including users within their company email address domain. However, site users are able to see identifying details for Sponsor and CRO users whose email address domain matches that Vault's designated email domain.
