I would like to use a separate password manager for a different user so myh child does not have access to my passwords.  Can you tell me how to do that?
Hi taizentek

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

So if I understand correctly you want for you and your child, under the same WSA license, to run/have separate Password Manager accounts?

 

Right, well if that is the case then you will most likely want to have main Console access and control the whole thing, but you can also provide a separate Password Manager account to your husband (and others in the future).  To do that:

 


  1. Log into your Account Conole
  2. At the upper right, click your email address
  3. Select 'Manage Users'
  4. Check how many user profiles you have already set up here.
I presume that it will currently just be one, or have you already set up one for your child?  With a muilti device/user license,

you can have up to the same number of user profiles on that same key code.

 

 If you have only one user profile set up, click the 'Create New Users' button.  Each user profile is, just like yours, a specific email address.  Create an additional user for your child.

 

For his/her new user profile, once created, go to 'Permissions'.  There you can allow him/her Console access, or block him/her from it.

 

Also, you will need to set the permissions for Passwords, and if you so desire you can also allow him/her separate Backup&Sync access as well, in which case he/she will go into a different Backup&Sync folder and so your child will not be able to access your files or passwords, AND vice versa.

 

Just a quick note here to advise that, the WSA Backup size allocation is for the license/group and NOT per user. 

 

Further, suggestion; that you do not provide Admin Console Access to anyone other than yourself, as that will give them access to make changes (perhaps more pertinent if you want to allow further users to make use of these features).

 

Well, I hope that answers the question/makes sense?  Please do not hesitate to come back here and let us know how you get on or if you have further questions.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.  I actually already have permissions set on her username via the console but that did not set up her own password to login to the console or even on webroot on her pc.  When I go to webroot on  her pc, it is exactly the same as my console.  She does not have a separate login under my account.

Also, I think the webroot toolbar should get logged in with her username and password, but again I do not know how to make that happen.

Thanks

All that is required is detailed in my post if you read it carefully.
