With 1Password, custom groups make it easy to manage your team by project, department, or location. Learn how to manage group members and the vaults they have access to.

Group Types

Manifest

Manifest groups can be sync'd to 1Password. 1Password admins will build out the group structure and then make it available to those who will be responsible for managing it. Existing Manifest groups used by your team can be nested. To setup the linked Group(s), send the following to 1passwordadmins@office365.wisc.edu: 

1. Group Name
2. Division or Department to associate with the Group
3. 2+ users responsible for managing the Manfiest group

1Password

Groups can also be created and managed within 1Password. 1Password admins will create the Group and then assign it to the users responsible for managing it. To setup a 1Password Group, send the following to 1passwordadmins@office365.wisc.edu:

1. Group Name
2. 2+ users responsible for managing the 1Password group

Request a Group

Currently, only 1Password administrators have the ability to create Groups. Reach out at 1passwordadmins@office365.wisc.edu with any questions or to request a new Group.

Manage group access to vaults

You can give everyone in a group access to specific vaults and assign vault permissions, like the ability to create and remove items from the vault.

To add or remove group access to a vault, click Manage in the Vaults section. Select or deselect vaults, then click Update Vaults.

To change vault permissions for the group, click the gear button next to the vault name, then select or deselect permissions from the list.

If a team member has vault permissions individually and as part of a group, the most permissive of the two will always be used. Learn more about vault permissions.

Manage group membership

For 1Password Groups, not Manifest. To add people to a group, click Manage in the People section. Select the team members to add, then click Update Group Members.

To manage a group member, click the gear button  next to their name:

• To promote them to group manager, choose Manager.
• To remove them from the group, choose Remove from Group.

Team members can belong to multiple groups, and there is no limit to the size of a group.
