# Time-Limited Access

## Overview Time-Limited Access allows you to securely share credentials or secrets with other Keeper users on a temporary basis, automatically revoking access at a specified time. Time-Limited Access prevents long standing privileges and ensures that information is removed from the recipient’s vault, greatly reducing the risk of unauthorized access. {% embed url="" %} Time-Limited Access {% endembed %} ## Share a Record Select the record from your vault and click **Share**, entering their email address or selecting it from your contacts list. Set their permission level and click **Add**.

Select the “Permissions” dropdown and click **Set Expiration**. Here you can select one of the default expirations or click **custom date and time** to set your own. Next, check the box if you would like the record owner, such as yourself, or users with edit access to be notified via email when the recipient's record access expires. Click **Done** to save.

Permissions and Option to Add Expiration

{% hint style="info" %} The recipient of a shared record with time-limited access may have "view" and "edit" permissions but will not be able to share the record. If "share" permissions are applied, the expiration will be removed. {% endhint %} ## Share a Folder Open the shared folder from your vault and click the **edit icon** and from the “Users” tab, add the user or team you would like to share the folder with.

Set their permissions and from the dropdown menu click **Set Expiration**, following the same steps you would for a single record share (described above).

Next, check the box if you would like users with "can manage records" permissions over the folder to be notified via email when the recipient's record access expires. Click **Done** to save.

{% hint style="info" %} The recipient of a shared folder with time-limited access may have "can manage records" permissions, but the ability to "manage users" is restricted. If these permissions are applied, the expiration will be removed. {% endhint %}
