Recurso: Configuración de la gestión de colecciones

Los propietarios de la organización Bitwarden Password Manager tienen acceso a tres configuraciones conmutables para la gestión de colecciones. Cada uno de ellos afecta al comportamiento de las colecciones, proporcionando varias opciones flexibles para la gestión de las colecciones y los elementos del almacén. Esto permite una serie de estrategias de acceso a la gestión, incluido el autoservicio total, una política de mínimos privilegios y una estricta supervisión del administrador.

Owners and admins can manage all collections and items

Si esta opción está activada, los administradores podrán ver, editar y gestionar todas las colecciones y los artículos del almacén que contengan. Si esta opción no está seleccionada, los administradores sólo tendrán acceso a las colecciones para las que tengan asignados permisos directos.

Limitar la creación de colecciones a propietarios y administradores

Cuando esta opción está activada, los roles de administrador serán los únicos miembros de las organizaciones que podrán crear colecciones. Si esta opción está desactivada, todos los miembros de la organización podrán crear colecciones.

Limitar la eliminación de colecciones a propietarios y administradores

Si esta opción está activada, los administradores serán los únicos miembros de la organización que podrán eliminar colecciones. Cuando esta opción está desactivada, todos los miembros de la organización con el permiso Puede gestionar una colección tendrán la capacidad de eliminar esa colección.

All options checked
Owners and Administrators have access to everything in the organization vault, and only they can create and delete collections.

• Empowers the administrator to set up collections as the organization needs

• Gives administrators the visibility and access to make changes to all vault items

First option unchecked, second and third option checked
Administrators will be able to see that a collection exists, but cannot access it or the items therein unless they have been given permissions by a user with the Manage collection permission for that collection. Admins alone can create a collection and they’ll automatically receive the Manage collection permission, but can then pass that off to a designated collection manager to populate. Only admins will be able to delete collections, regardless of Manage collection permissions.

• Great middle ground between full admin control and user self-serve

• Admins can create the structure of the organization and then let the users work in that space

• Helps adhere to a policy of least-privilege - administrators can be assigned to low-sensitivity collections, but not to confidential ones

First option checked, second and third options unchecked
Users can create and delete their own collections, and administrators are able to access those collections. This allows for a self-serve approach with admin supervision.

• Users can handle their own work without contacting administrators

• Admins can intervene in case something unexpected comes up, such as the collection manager going out on leave

• Users will automatically receive the Manage collection permission for organizations they create, and the Manage collection permission is required to delete a collection

Tip: Get more granular control by adjusting the second or third options to choose whether to allow users to create OR delete collections.

Fourth option checked/unchecked
The fourth option adjusts the permission level for deleting items. Leaving this unchecked is beneficial for self-serve setups where team members are able to manage themselves with minimal interaction with admins. Checking this will require escalation to users with the Manage collection permission to delete items, which is useful when an item is shared in more than one collection and admins have an opportunity to simply remove it from the collection to ensure to disruption to users utilizing the other collection.

All options unchecked
This is the default for new organizations. Administrators will only be able to see that a collection exists and the collection structure of the organization. Users can create and delete their own collections without needing to contact administrators. Administrators cannot see the contained vault items unless a user with the Manage collection permission assigns them permission. Users with the Edit items collection can send collection items to the organization trash.

• Allows for full user self-serve

• Useful for large organizations with many small teams with lots of collections

• Helps adhere to a principle of least-privilege policy

A great use-case for this setup would be for the Enforce organization data ownership policy, where a user must store their own passwords in the organization vault, but can do so inside a private collection.

Tip: Administrators will automatically receive access to orphaned collections if there are no users with Manage collection access.
