VAULTWARDEN - Adding Users to VWΒΆ

Risky Business!

The VaultWarden contains ALL passwords for EVERY account that CS++ uses on a day-to-day basis.

Accidentally adding the wrong person / giving someone the wrong permissions could cause serious problems! Always double check emails and permissions when doing this!

Go to the VaultWarden Web UI and log in with your account. Press the Admin Console button in the bottom left and navigate to the Members section.

Here you will need to get the PERSONAL email address of the person. Microsoft still does not trust vault.cspp.ie and if someone uses their student email they will be required to reset the password to that account, and no-one wants that.

Once you have that email address, Press the Invite member button in the Members section, enter their email and set the relevant permissions & collections as follows:

Committee Position Role Collections
Chairperson Owner N/A (Automatically given full access)
Vice Chair User Archive, Core, General, Holding Accounts, Public Relations, Purchasing, System Administration
Treasurer User Archive, Core, General, Public Relations, Purchasing
Secretary User Archive, Core, General, Holding Accounts, Public Relations, Purchasing
HSO User Archive, Core, General, Public Relations, Purchasing
PRO User Archive, Core, General, Public Relations, Purchasing
Sysadmin Owner N/A (Automatically given full access)
TEO User Archive, General, Public Relations, Purchasing
SEO User Archive, General, Public Relations, Purchasing
First Year Rep User Archive, General, Public Relations
Second Year Rep User Archive, General, Public Relations
Events Rep User Archive, General, Public Relations

Once that has been set, press Save and they will be sent an email, then send them the following message:

You've been invited to the password manager and should've recieved an email from the password manager, please DM me again when you've completed onboarding for the Password manager so I can finalise it for you!

One they have confirmed that they've finished the onboarding, return to the Members section and go to the Needs Confirmation tab, and using the three dots, add the member. Then, send them this message to help them install the password manager:
