Nested folders in department vaults

The issue I am having is that we save a very large number of credentails and details in 1password,  and currently, I am creating vaults with names of the department and a subsection name as part of the vault name

As an example for illustration only: for HR,  I have a vault called   HR-References, another vault called HR-AnnualLeave,   and another called   HR-Attendance

But this means we end up with a massively long list of vaults.  It would be much much better if we could have nested vaults, or even folder to contains to store all the different sets of data in an organised manner under the one parent vault.

so ideally we would have a vault called HR, and then within that vault, either subvaults, or folders/containers that could contain specific items by topic

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

    Hello TheG​! 👋

    Thanks for reaching out! 1Password doesn't have sub-vaults or a folder hierarchy but have you considered using tags?

    As long as you don't need to assign different levels of permission to the different collections of items you could have one vault named "HR" and then the following tags for specific items: HR-References, HR-AnnualLeave, and HR-Attendance.

    Users could then just view the items with that tag by clicking the tag in the sidebar or by using a search filter in the desktop app: Search in the 1Password app to find what you need

    Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

      Hey Dave, I have been a paid user since 2018, adopting 1Pass for Developer tasks (kubernetes, shared secrets between the team, local development, ssh into servers) is pushing the experience to a point that I would love to see some Directory/Folder/Tree structure to organize the vaults

      Tags don't cut it, especially when we may want better permissions around these directories/groups.

      I would really appreciate if 1Pass gives a better solution here, I am considering to move most things to Hashicorp Vault just for that reason alone.
