Share a Server Without Sharing Its Password
Move a server's SSH credential into the encrypted Team vault so teammates connect through it instead of holding a copy. Choose whether the key can ever be displayed, and every reveal is logged.

How Share a Server Without Sharing Its Password Works
No documentation needed. Share a Server Without Sharing Its Password guides you through each step visually.
Open Permission and choose Share a server
Pick the server from the Choose a server list. Sharing moves its SSH credential into the encrypted Team vault; members still need a grant in the matrix afterwards.
Pick Use only or Use and reveal
Use only is recommended: people connect, deploy and open terminals while the key is never displayed or copied in the app. Use and reveal additionally lets admins display and copy it.
Share it
The server picks up a Shared to workspace badge in its header, and is marked as shared in the sidebar and on the dashboard so nobody confuses it with a personal connection.
Watch the reveals
Every reveal is written to the Activity log with who did it, when, and from which device. Filter or search that log by person rather than scrolling it.
The Terminal Way: No Share a Server Without Sharing Its Password
Without Share a Server Without Sharing Its Password, you're back to the dark ages of server management. Here's what that looks like.
Send the credential and hope
The usual approach is to hand over the private key or the root password directly — a one-way door you cannot close.
# what most teams actually do
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 # paste into chat
# or share the root password out of a vault entryOnce a secret has been read it cannot be un-read. The only real revocation is rotating it everywhere it was used.
The safer manual version: a per-person key, no secret shared
Install their public key so the private half never leaves their machine. This works, but it is per-server, per-person, and entirely manual.
ssh-copy-id -i alex_id_ed25519.pub [email protected]
sudo sed -i 's/^#\?PasswordAuthentication.*/PasswordAuthentication no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo systemctl reload sshRevoke by editing files on every host
Taking access back means finding and removing their key line on each machine, then rotating anything they could have read.
sudo sed -i '/alex@laptop/d' /home/alex/.ssh/authorized_keys
sudo pkill -u alex
sudo deluser --remove-home alexYour Time is Worth More
