We use a local instance of PassBolt, loaded onto a CentOS 7 virtual server. It allows you to create groups of users and then assign access based on those groups. 

https://www.passbolt.com/

You can also assign permissions, share with others, make different users Admin (in case you get hit by a bus so someone else will be able to manage the passwords), etc. If you make it internal to your network and (no outside access) and require individual users to login, you'll find it is pretty secure and we have been successfully using it for a couple of years now.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Database passwords

I'm curious to survey the community -- has anyone found a way to store database administration passwords used by technical services staff that is both user-friendly and secure? For example: the passwords to configure NC State's various OCLC resources / services / databases.

Feel free to message me directly if you're not comfortable sharing on-list.

thanks!
