Grant a credential to an employee
Seren Passwords lets you share one credential with one employee without exposing it to Seren. Access is specific, visible, and easy to revoke. This guide explains the decisions you make along the way.
Step 1
Choose the employee
Every employee has its own identity. Select the employee that needs the credential rather than sharing with a team-wide or reusable account. This keeps access tied to the employee doing the work.
Step 2
Share only the item it needs
Choose the individual credential instead of sharing an entire vault. The sharing step happens on your device, and only the selected employee can unlock the item. Seren keeps the encrypted item and the record of who may use it, but cannot read the secret.
Step 3
Review access when it is used
When the employee needs the credential, Seren checks that it is the identity you granted. If your policy requires approval, you see the request before access continues. The credential is unlocked only in the employee's protected environment.
Step 4
Review and revoke
Review the access history to see which employee used the item and when. Revoke the grant as soon as the employee no longer needs it; revocation prevents future access without changing how the item is shared with anyone else.
