Sharing
note
In order to share items you need to be a member of an organization. Learn more about organizations or learn how to start your own two-person organization.
Sharing items with Bitwarden means moving them into an organization and collection, a structure used to gather logins, notes, cards, and identities for access by multiple users. There are a few different ways you can create organization items for sharing:
Organization members can move items to any assigned collection(s) unless they are given Can view permission to that collection. To move an item to an organization:
Select the item(s) to assign to your organization's collections.
Using the menu, select the Assign to collections option.
On the Assign to collections screen:
Choose the organization to share this item with.
Select one or more collections to share this item into. You must select at least one collection.
Click Assign to finishing moving this item for sharing.
Moving an item to an organization will transfer ownership to the organization. This means that anyone with permission can alter the item or delete it, which would remove it from your vault as well. You can tell that an item is shared by the card next to its name:
In the Vault view, use the Options menu for the item you want to move to an organization to select Assign to collections:
