Sharing Resources in Bulk

Password Manager Pro allows you to share your resources/resource groups in bulk with other users and user groups. When you share a selection of resources, all the passwords of all of the resources will also be shared. You can grant varying permissions to users and user groups for password usage by choosing one of the following levels.

Sharing Permissions Levels

How Precedence Works for Permission Levels

For password sharing permissions (View/Modify/Full Access), the lowest level of permission takes the highest precedence as explained below:

1. Permissions set for individual accounts override the permissions set for a resource which the account is a part of.
• For example, if a user account is granted with View permission for a password and the resource it is a part of gets Modify permission, this particular user account will still have only View permission to that password.
2. Permissions set for a resource overrides the permissions set for a resource group which the resource is a part of.
• For example, if a resource is granted with Modify permission for a password and the resource group it is a part of gets Full Access, then this particular resource will still have only Modify access to that password.
3. Similarly, the share permission set for a user overrides that of a user group the user is a part of.
   • For example, if a particular user is granted with View only permission for a password and the user group it is a part of gets Full Access, then this particular user will still have only View access to that password.
