USER MANAGEMENT


USER SEATS

Bitwarden Teams and Enterprise organizations will automatically scale up user
seats as you invite new users. You can set a seat limit on scaling to prevent
your seat count from exceeding a specified number, or manually add seats as
desired. Regardless of how you choose to add seats, you will need to manually
remove seats you're no longer using.

Adding and removing user seats will adjust your future billing totals. Adding
seats will immediately charge your payment method on file at an adjusted rate so
that you will only pay for the remainder of the billing cycle (month/year).
Removing seats will cause your next charge to be adjusted so that you are
credited for time not used by the already-paid-for seat.

NOTE

Only an an organization owner or provider service user can add or remove seats,
as this directly affects billing.


SET A SEAT LIMIT

To set a limit on the number of seats your organization can scale up to:

 1. Log in to your web vault and open your organization.

 2. Open the Billing tab and select Subscription from the left-hand menu.

 3. Check the Limit subscription checkbox:
    
    
    Set a seat limit

 4. In the Seat limit input, specify a seat limit.

 5. Select Save.

NOTE

Once the specified limit is reached, you will not be able to invite new users
unless you increase the limit.


MANUALLY ADD OR REMOVE SEATS

To manually add or remove seats to your organization:

 1. Log in to your web vault and open your organization.

 2. Open the Billing tab and select Subscription from the left-hand menu.

 3. In the Subscription seats input, add or remove seats using the hover-over
    arrows:
    
    
    Add or remove seats

 4. Select Save.

NOTE

If you are increasing your Subscription seats above a specified Seat limit, you
must also increase the seat limit so that it is equal to or greater than the
desired subscription seat count.


ONBOARD USERS

To ensure the security of your organization, Bitwarden applies a 3-step process
for onboarding a new member, invite → accept → confirm.

TIP

This document covers the manual onboarding flow for adding users to Bitwarden
organizations, however Bitwarden offers two methods for automatic user and group
provisioning:

 * Enterprise organizations can use SCIM integrations for Azure AD, Okta,
   OneLogin, and JumpCloud.

 * Teams and Enterprise organizations can use Directory Connector for Active
   Directory/LDAP, Azure AD, Google Workspace, Okta, and OneLogin.




INVITE

TIP

For Enterprise organizations, we recommend configuring enterprise policies prior
to inviting users to ensure compliance on-entrance to your organization.

To invite users to your organization:

 1. Log in to your web vault and open your organization.

 2. Open Members tab and select the  Invite User button:
    
    
    Invite members

 3. On the Invite User panel:
    
    * Enter the Email address where new users should receive invites. You can
      add up to 20 users at a time by comma-separating email addresses.
    
    * Select the Member role to be applied to new users. Member role will
      determine what permissions these users will have at an organizational
      level.
    
    * In the Groups tab, select which groups to add this user to.
    
    * In the Collections tab, select collects to give this user access to and
      what permissions they should have to each collection.

 4. Click Save to invite the designated users to your organization.

NOTE

Invitations expire after 5 days, at which point the user will need to be
re-invited. Re-invite users in bulk by selecting each user and using the 
Options menu to Resend invitations:


Bulk re-invite

If you're self-hosting Bitwarden, you can configure the invitation expiration
period using an environment variable.


ACCEPT

Invited users will receive an email from Bitwarden inviting them to join the
organization. Clicking the link in the email will open a Bitwarden client
invitation window. Log In with an existing Bitwarden or Create Account to accept
the invitation:


Invitation Window

When you accept an invitation, you will be notified that you can access the
organization once confirmed:


Accepted Invitation

Additionally, organization members will have their email automatically verified
when they accept an invitation.


CONFIRM

TIP

The 3-step invite → accept → confirm procedure is designed to facilitate secure
sharing between organizations and users by maintaining end-to-end encryption.
Learn more.

To confirm accepted invitations into your organization:

 1. Log in to your web vault and open your organization.

 2. Open the Members tab.

 3. Select any Accepted users and use the  Options menu to  Confirm Selected:
    
    
    Confirm accepted members

 4. Verify that the fingerprint phrase on your screen matches the one your new
    member can find in Account settings → My account:
    
    
    Sample Fingerprint Phrase

Each fingerprint phrase is unique to its account, and ensures a final layer of
oversight in securely adding users. If they match, select Submit.


DEPROVISION USERS

WARNING

For those accounts that do not have master passwords as a result of SSO with
trusted devices, removing them from your organization or revoking their access
will cut off all access to their Bitwarden account unless you assign them a
master password using account recovery beforehand.

To remove users from your organization:

 1. Log in to your web vault and open your organization.

 2. Open the Members tab.

 3. Select the users you want to remove from the organization and use the 
    Options menu to  Remove:


Remove Users

TIP

Offline devices cache a read-only copy of vault data, including organizational
vault data. If you anticipate malicious exploitation of this, credentials the
member had access to should be updated when you remove them from the
organization.


DELETING USER ACCOUNTS

Removing a user from your organization does not delete their Bitwarden account.
When a user is removed they can no longer access the organization or any shared
items and collections, however they will still be able to log in to Bitwarden
using their existing master password and access any individual vault items.

Depending on the particulars of your implementation, you may be able to use one
of the following methods to delete a Bitwarden user account that belongs to a
deprovisioned user:

 1. If you are self-hosting Bitwarden, an authorized admin can delete the
    account from the System Administrator Portal.

 2. If the account has an @yourcompany.com email address that your company
    controls, you can use the delete without logging in workflow and confirm
    deletion within the @yourcompany.com inbox. For more information, see Delete
    an Account or Organization.


REVOKE ACCESS

TIP

If your organization has an active SCIM integration, user access to your
organization is automatically revoked when users are suspended or de-activated
in your source directory.

WARNING

For those accounts that do not have master passwords as a result of SSO with
trusted devices, removing them from your organization or revoking their access
will cut off all access to their Bitwarden account unless you assign them a
master password using account recovery beforehand.

Instead of completely removing members, you can also temporarily revoke access
to your organization and its vault items. To revoke access:

 1. Login to your web vault and open your organization.

 2. Open the Members tab.

 3. Select the members you want to revoke access for and use the  Options menu
    to Revoke access:
    
    
    Revoke access
    
    

TIP

Only owners can revoke and restore access to other owners.

Users with revoked access are listed in the Revoked tab and will:

 * Not have access to any organization vault items, collections, and more.

 * Not have the ability to use SSO to login, or Organizational Duo for two-step
   login.

 * Not be subject to your organization's policies.

 * Not occupy a license seat.


RESTORE ACCESS

To restore access to a user:

 1. Login to your web vault and open your organization.

 2. Open the Members tab and the Revoked members tab.

 3. Select the users you want to restore access for and use the  Options menu
    to Restore access:
    
    
    Restore access

When you restore access to a user, they don't need to go through the invite →
accept → confirm workflow again.


REVIEW USER 2FA STATUS

The 2FA status of users can be viewed from the organization management page. On
the Members tab, owners and admins can review which users have two-step login
enabled. If the user has a  icon, two-step login has been enabled on their
Bitwarden account.
