Conceptial Preconfiguration Informaion
It is important to understand that SafeKey has two core web portals.
- SafeKey License Management Portal: This is where you add users and obtain new licenses. User license MUST be added and accepted before they can interact with the SafeKey Vault portal. (https://www.safekey.co.nz)
- SafeKey Vault Portal: This is where users' rights are assigned, and organisations are configured. In a single vault, you can create multiple organisations with separate rights and password shares. (https://[YourInstance].safekey.co.nz)
What is the Importance of SafeKey Administrators?
The Admin is the individual within your organisation who controls access to passwords, can see them, and can change them if required. If you are using multiple organisations, you can have separate administrators in each organisation. Administrators generally have early access to set up an organisation, save passwords (which can be migrated from existing browsers if required), and assign rights to those who can see or use them.
Often, we have found it beneficial to have admins use the service for a week to get comfortable and set up passwords before inviting users to join.
Adding New Users to the SafeKey Service
In essence, adding new users is a two-step process. Firsly they must be assigned a licence. To achieve this, an "invite" is sent to the new user that they must accept. This license effectily grant the user access to the Vault. As a Vault member, a user can store their own passwords, but will not have access to any business-wide password sharing.
The second component is to add the user to a specific organisation(s). Once again, this is an invitation-and-acceptance process, and it is where they will gain access to corporate passwords.
