Transfer Item Ownership to Different User - Feature Request

I'm the SysAdmin for a small company and often set up accounts for people like new employees or new services for existing employees.  I haven't found a good way to transfer an item to a different user.

Example:

I recently created a T-Mobile credential for my boss where I set the username and password.  I configured some settings in the account and now want to fully transfer ownership of the 1Password item to him without maintaining access to it.  It also contains some extra notes I've added.  The only ways I know to give him the credentials are to:

-Send the password in plaintext via Teams/email/etc. for him to recreate the item in his own vault.  He then has the hassle of resetting the password and manually copying the notes over.

-Share a link to the item, but I can't delete my copy until he has copied it to his vault.  (this option has actually improved since I tried it last)

-Drop it into a shared vault, so he still has to copy it out and he or I need to remember to delete the shared copy.

I'd love to be able to shove it into his vault and forget about it.  It would also be great if he gets some kind of notification that it's been added.

Thoughts?  Maybe this is just an admin feature, but maybe there's not much harm in making it available to all users.

  • Hello mingebretson​! đź‘‹

    Thanks for the feedback! Currently, there isn't a way to drop an item into another user's Employee vault. The best option would be for you to move the item into a shared vault that the two of you both have access to and then for them to move the item to their Employee vault if they don't want to keep it in the shared vault. 

    That being said, I can see how such an option would be useful and I've filed a feature request on your behalf with our product team.
