I’ve set someone up as an emergency user and he now has view only access. He can only see the vault items that are not in an organization. He can only see the items that are in the personal vault only. I need him to see all of my vault items. I don’t need the organization so I’ve been trying for hours to move the organization files to personal, but I’m stymied. I’ve tried cloning the organization files and moving them to the personal vault, but that doesn’t work. Please advise! Thanks!
Hi David, Thank you so much for your help! I had just come back here to delete my question since I found out at another post that I could export from the organization then import into the personal vault
using .json It worked out just great!
Thanks, but I had to change the user to which I want to clone the organization item to owner level… Is this right? So everytime I want to do this I have to give the user owner level and then change it back to user level which is annoying as I have to log in and out several times…
I had this same need and thought about using Clone, but do not see the option on organization vault entries, only on personal vaults. I checked the app as well as the website, but no Clone option exists for items in my organization’s vault.
If you are an admin or owner of your organization, you should be able to clone items from your Organizations view (and within Organizations > Settings you will find an export function for your Organization vault). Here’s a quick visual reference:
In my case I don’t see the Clone option.
I’m the owner of the organization (for now I’m the only member of the organization, I wanted to set it up before adding another member) and I can’t see the option.
I just made a mistake and added a personal login item to the organization and wanted to move it back but it seems there’s no option to do so, which is mind boggling. If something similar happens on a larger scale you would want to move everything back quickly to the original state not having to bother and cloning each item and remove them on the organization.
EDIT: I just saw that what I said is valid if you are viewing the items in the general view (Vault), to be able to clone the items you have to go in the “Organization” Tab (not in the filters at the left of the interface, buy the tab on top).
Great discussion! This gave me the idea to clone the item in my personal vault then move the clone to the organization. This way I never move the original out of my personal vault.
Well, it looked like that option wasn’t available anymore but I found it under the Admin section of the webapp. Not using the ADMIN login of the webapp (confusing as that may be). I determined that it wasn’t easy to do and had to be done 1 by 1 to clone and move over, so I didn’t use that feature.
I’ve been using FOLDERS to sort items but it’s not filtered like Orgs are. I have folders of 3 imports from different browsers that I am going through manually and testing and updating and moving to a different folder once verified. I would have preferred to use ORGS and move them back when done. Would have been nice if moving to/from ORGS in bulk was a lot easier.
I initially imported them all from Chrome, Edge, Firefox and am manually cleaning them up. I was trying to move completed or sorted items to/from a different ORG vs a folder. Like using a “Verified” org and them move them back when done. Not a big deal, I’m using folders for now… just not as clean as ORG would have been. But then moving back out of that ORG to my private vault space also isn’t easy to do in bulk.
iOS app (as of 2024.7.1) and the Chrome extension (as of 2024.9.0) don’t allow cloning Organizational items… you have to do that from the actual website vault. Furthermore, you can’t Clone from looking at the full list of items, you actually have to go to the organization itself, find the item, and then clone.
They’re making it really hard to move items back, and it’s crazy for me this is still an issue.
I use Bitwarden personally, for me and my spouse, and me and my parents. I get why in a company, we may not want to move items from organizations back to personal vaults, but for families, it’s a non-issue. Maybe somebody wants to use our online account to make a purchase, and then we want to take it back. Doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Maybe they could make a setting in an Organization to allow items to be moved back to Personal Vaults or not. Then the admins of the Organization could decide for themselves if they want to allow that.
