The Hudu admin area is accessible ONLY to admins and super admin users within your organization.
- Global Password Folders
- Allows you to standardize the view of passwords for your technicians across ALL clients. Global folders will be visible inside the passwords section of ALL of your clients (if you have permission to access that folder).
- Client Password Folders
- Allow for the organization of passwords on a per-client basis. Not every client is the same, use these to help manage a variety of different password storage requirements.
- Client-specific folders will only be visible inside the passwords section of the client in which they were created (if you have permission to access to that folder).
- My Vault Folders
- Personal folders for organizing the passwords and passkeys stored in your own My Vault. Each user has their own folder structure, and My Vault folders are not visible to other users.
- My Vault folders are created and managed from My Vault, not the Hudu admin area, and do not use the folder viewing restrictions described below.
- Folder Viewable to All Users
- All users in the account will be able to access passwords in this folder. Individual security permissions still apply and take precedence (i.e. Passwords stored within unrestricted folders, can still be individually restricted from users within security groups).
- Folder Viewable to Selected Users
- Selectively add security groups who you'd like to give access to the specific password folder. Admins and super admins will always have access.
Creating Password Folders
Global Folders
- Navigate to the Hudu admin area.
- Under Basic Setup, select Password Folders.
- Click New Password Folder.
- Assign Name (required) and additional information (optional).
- Optionally, directly assign it to a single specific company.
- Select Create Password Folder.
Client-Specific
- Navigate to your company of choice.
- Select New Folder in the top right corner.
- Assign Name (required) and additional information (optional).

My Vault
- Navigate to My Vault in the top navigation.
- Select New Folder in the top right corner.
- Assign Name (required) and Description (optional).
- Select Create.
If you create a folder in the admin section, assigning it to a company will make it specific to that client, meaning it will no longer be a global folder.
My Vault folders are a single level and do not support subfolders. New My Vault passwords are added to the Base folder unless you choose a different folder when creating them.
