How Workspaces Work

What is a Workspace?

A workspace is an isolated container for passwords, members, and shared items. Think of it as a separate vault that you can share with specific people.

Common use cases include:

• Work team: API keys, shared logins, internal tools
• Family: Netflix, Wi-Fi, utility accounts
• Client projects: Temporary access for contractors
• Personal: Your own private vault (default)

Step 1: Create a Workspace

1. Open AmnPass and click your profile or the workspace switcher
2. Select "Create New Workspace"
3. Enter a name (e.g., "Marketing Team" or "Smith Family")
4. Click "Create" — you're now the Owner of this workspace

Step 2: Invite Members

Once your workspace exists, bring people in:

1. Go to Workspace Settings → Members
2. Enter the email address of the person you want to invite
3. They'll receive an email and in-app notification
4. When they accept, they join as a Member

See our guide to inviting team members for more details.

Step 3: Share Items

With members in your workspace, you can share passwords:

1. Select any item in your vault
2. Click "Share"
3. Choose a workspace member from the list
4. They receive a notification and must accept the share request

See our guide to sharing passwords for the full process.

Switching Between Workspaces

Use the workspace switcher in the top navigation to move between workspaces. When you switch:

• Items change: You only see items for the current workspace
• Members change: You can only share with current workspace members
• Notifications scope: Share requests and invites are filtered to the current workspace

Owner vs Member Permissions

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Wrong workspace selected: Always check the workspace switcher before creating items or sharing
• Sharing with wrong person: Double-check the recipient before sending a share request
• Forgetting to revoke: When someone leaves, revoke their shared item access
