# Managing passwords permissions for IT Team in KeePass Pro

Adele Vance, an IT Manager at a large corporation, needs to manage access permissions for the KeePass Pro app. As the owner of the KeePass Pro tab and with a Platinum license, Adele can customize permissions for team members, ensuring that only authorized personnel can add, edit, or delete passwords. Additionally, Adele can transfer her owner rights to another Platinum user.

  1. Accessing Permissions:

    • Adele navigates to the KeePass Pro app and clicks on the gear icon at the top right corner of the screen. She selects "Permissions" from the dropdown menu to open the Permissions management window.

    • In the Permissions window, Adele can see the general permissions settings, which offer three options:
      • Everybody in this channel can add/edit/delete passwords: This setting allows all members of the channel to manage passwords without restriction.
      • Only the owner(s) of this KeePass Pro can add/edit/delete passwords: This setting restricts password management capabilities to the owners of the KeePass Pro workspace.
      • Customize permissions: This option allows Adele to tailor specific permissions for each team member. Adele selects "Customize permissions" to proceed, and clicks 'Save'.
