When you share items, you choose whether you want the people you're sharing with to have one of four permission levels. When you choose a permission level that includes “edit,” the recipients can change the login’s password, and any other information in the login, Secure Note, or secret. Secrets are only available to members of Dashlane professional plans.
- Full access: The recipient has full control over the item, including the ability to autofill, reveal the password, copy, edit, and share it with others. Recipients with this level of access can also manage sharing for other people and even revoke your access.
- Can edit: The recipient can autofill, reveal the password, copy, and edit the item. However, they can’t share the item with other people.
- Can view: The recipient can view and copy item fields, but they can’t edit or share the item. Secrets and Secure Notes are always viewable.
- Can autofill: This permission level is designed for logins only. The recipient can autofill the shared login, but can’t see the password in plain text, which prevents them from sharing the password with others. For other item types, such as Secure Notes and secrets, permissions will be set to Can view because their content is always viewable.
If you need to enter a shared password on a device that doesn't have the Dashlane app installed, such as your television, you'll need to request a permission level that allows you to view the password for the login. Anyone with Full access for the login can change anyone else's permission.
Important: For shared logins with the Can autofill permission level, the person the login is shared with can’t directly view or edit the login in their vault or in a pop-up. Remember that the dots only hide the password from a casual or accidental observer. A determined, technically savvy recipient may be able to reveal the password. Share logins only with people you trust.
