ModeratorHello phillipc​! 👋
Thanks for reaching out! It sounds like the groups feature is something that might help with the role-based access control setup that your organization uses. Groups can be defined in any way that you need: by department, level of seniority, affiliation with a project, etc...
You can read more here: Use custom groups in 1Password Business
Once a custom group is created, you can add that group to a vault with the appropriate vault permissions. And you can even sync your 1Password custom groups with groups in your identity provider (Google Workspace, JumpCloud, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, or Rippling): Automate provisioning in 1Password Business using SCIM
If that doesn't help, or I misunderstood the issue, then let me know and the community and I can help further.

Hi Dave,
Unfortunately, groups do not solve this issue, it simply allows for simpler access to the many vaults required to support RBAC to the right credentials/vaults.
A good example is supporting a customer which has multiple environments - test, production, UAT. Now you need to give your different teams and roles access to specific and overlapping credentials for that customer. How do you do this effectively without a spiderweb of duplicated credentials or just overly permission access to credentials not required for your teams?

Thank you for the feedback. I've shared your feedback internally with the team. If you have a 1Password Business account then I recommend that you also share this feedback with your Customer Success Manager (CSM) so that they can better understand your organization's needs.
Hopefully other members of the community can share how they're tackling this specific use case in their organization as well.
