AccessOwl integrates with Bitwarden to provision and deprovision user access in your Bitwarden organization.

Capabilities

Provisioning

AccessOwl creates user accounts with the specified roles/permissions during access requests.

Deprovisioning

AccessOwl removes members from the Bitwarden organization during access revocations.

Prerequisites

  • Admin access to your Bitwarden organization, so you can invite the integration account.

Setup

1

Add Bitwarden in AccessOwl

Either add a new application or open Applications and click the +-symbol, then continue.
2

Invite the integration account as Admin

AccessOwl shows you the integration account’s email address. In Bitwarden:
  • Open the Admin Console and select Members from the sidebar.
  • Click Invite member.
  • Enter the integration account’s email address.
  • Set the role to Admin.
  • Send the invite.
The integration account needs Admin because only Admins (and Owners) can invite and confirm new members, and revoke or remove existing members from the organization. Without Admin, the integration account cannot provision or deprovision users.

FAQ

Bitwarden uses a three-step onboarding process: Invite, Accept, and Confirm. When AccessOwl provisions a user, it sends them an invitation email. The user only becomes a full member after they accept the invite and an Admin selects them in the Members list and clicks Confirm. Until both steps are complete, the user appears as Invited or Accepted but does not have access to shared organization items. Note that invitations expire after five days; if a user has not accepted by then, the integration account will need to re-invite them.
