Owner model for collections

Dear Bitwarden team,

We have scenario where a user requires access to two collections (let’s call them A and B). For collection A they should be able to edit/view passwords and manage access (e.g. assigning users and groups). For collection B they should be able to only edit/view passwords. This setup is currently not supported within the existing permissions / roles framework. If I assign a user the role “Manager” in my org they will be able to manage access for collection A and B.

As an admin I should be able to assign the manager role per collection (rather than the whole org). That could be achieved in two ways:

  1. Create a new permission “Manage access” which can be assigned to users or groups on a collection, just like the edit/view permission
  2. Provide a way to assign one or more users as owner for a collection which in turn can then manage access

Option two would be great for IT departments, as we are already used to the owner model with Azure AD groups / MS Teams. Also it would provide a way to identify who is responsible for a collection which is great for data management.

Thanks for taking this into consideration.

Kind regards,
Dominik

Dear @bw-admin,
That’s great to hear. Is it possible to provide details and rough ETA for these changes?
