1Password | Sharing and Managing Access to Vaults

When to Use?

As we switch to 1Password and you import passwords, you will notice shared vaults are imported as personal vaults. This is done as there is not a way to retain the original sharing permissions.  If you have a passwords and other sensitive information you would like shared for collaboration purposes you will need to create a vault and manage its access. 1Password uses the term "Sharing" to refer to temporary access to a vault that will eventually expire and the phrase "Manage access" to refer to a vault that is shared with a user or group without time limits. 

You can find their full documentation here https://support.1password.com/create-share-vaults/

Procedure

  1. Once you have created a vault you would like to share, you can right-click on the vault in the 1Password Desktop App and select "Manage Access."
