## What is Keeper Commander?

Keeper Commander is a command-line and SDK interface to the [Keeper Security](https://keepersecurity.com/) platform. Commander can be used to access and control your Keeper vault, perform administrative functions (such as end-user onboarding and data import/export), manage privileged access, run reports and create custom automations. Keeper Commander is an open source project with contributions from Keeper's engineering team and partners.

If you need any assistance or require specific functionality not supported in Commander yet, please [open an issue](https://github.com/Keeper-Security/Commander/issues) on the Github repo or [open a ticket](https://keepersecurity.servicenowservices.com/csm?id=csm_index) with support.
