LastPass

We licensed LastPass on 06/09/2020. We're actively working to migrate away from Stache and in to LastPass.

Policies

  • We will have a large collection of shared folders to organize our info
    • Don’t create new shared folders
      • If you think a new shared folder should be created, ping #Escalations on Slack
    • While you can store information in your personal vault, you can’t share these entries with other users
  • If you need to share a key or password with another UT employee, you should still use Stache, not LastPass, to share it. 
  • If you have a personal LastPass account, you’re able to link it. Your personal account will remain private, no one at LAITS will be granted access to it.
  • You should only use your LastPass Enterprise account for business purposes


 Permissions & Architecture

Permissions

  • laits-critical@austin.utexas.edu is the Identity Admin of our LastPass instance
    • The password for this account is (funnily enough) stored in Stache under LAITS-LastPass
    • Access to this account is not needed for routine administration 
  • Our Groups are meant to mirror existing groups in Stache
    • LAITS-DSS replaces ATS-DSS
    • LAITS-DE replaces ATS Stache Owners
    • LAITS-Management is a new group for managers
    • The Zone groups have been discarded

Folder Architecture

  • Departmental Information
    • Each Department will have a shared folder named after it, "SHARED-DEPT"
    • Printers for each department will be created as a password/login.
      • This will only needs to include the URL/Ip address, name of the printer, username, and password
      • Given the number of printers we have, these will be migrated in waves in a separate project
    • Encryption keys for each department will be stored in a secure note titled "DEPT Encryption Keys"
    • Additional departmental credentials will be stored in the secure note titled "DEPT Credentials"
  • Administrative & Assorted
    • Passwords to old accounts, like la-admin or ats-admin
    • Passwords to tools like Deepfreeze

     


 Onboarding & Offboarding

We have 35 LastPass licenses to share amongst staff. These can be reassigned as staff join or leave LAITS.


Offboarding

  • To be completed immediately once someone leaves LAITS, by an Admin.
  • Log on to the admin console user's page (Lastpass.com > Admin Console > Users)
  • Find the staff in question, remove the admin role if appropriate, and then delete their account. 
    • Note: Don't just disable it, delete it.
