Share Secrets

Share your vaulted personal secrets with other users in your organization, provided they meet the required access conditions.

Overview​

As the owner of a secret in EmpowerID, you can share it with other users who also have Privileged Access Management (PAM) enabled and have created a master password. Sharing secrets allows authorized individuals to access the encrypted data you've stored, while maintaining audit controls and access restrictions.

đź‘ĄWho Can Receive Shared Secrets?

You can only share secrets with users who have a master password and PAM access. If a user doesn't appear in the search, they likely haven't met these prerequisites.
