The feature was requested in 2018, and now we’re in 2025. Is there any chance it will be developed, or do we know if it’s on the roadmap for the coming years? It would be great to have it, as I believe it should be a fundamental feature.

Any update on this highly requested feature? i found some Parent Permissions script on their Github but good luck on tracking that for over 12k passwords and over 120 collections. GitHub - bitwarden-labs/admin-scripts: Leverage scripts with the Bitwarden CLI to automate admin tasks
Yep I agree, the script is way too limited. I tried pimping that script a bit to fetch my needs (specified above) but more urgent tasks took priority… I’ll see if I manage to get back at it soon.
Anyway, some kind of ETA for this feature, should it be concerned at all like something BW wants, would be nice!
@bw-admin @go12 Is there an ETA for inclusion of this FR? It’s officially been 7 years since this request was created and promised many times over the years.
I’m also a KeePass user. Inheriting permissions on sub-collections is a must.
We have a need to keep login credentials for each of our customers in it’s own area (collection). Folders don’t work because from my understanding are not shared with other users. KeePass allowed us to created folders for each customer to track their credentials.
Wrote a GUI tool that roughly does the same as the parent permission inheritance script from bitwarden’s admin-scripts.
Allows me to have child permissions inherited from parent collections (not dynamically of course).
It’s a v0.0.1 so feedback, features requests (and/or help) are welcome.
