Use case
SSH access management for agencies and client servers
Give the right people access to the right client servers for the right amount of time, without leaving old keys behind.
Client server access gets messy fast
Agencies and dev shops often manage access across many clients, projects, contractors, and environments. Manual SSH key management works until nobody is sure which keys belong where.
- Contractors come and go
- Client projects end
- Developers change machines
- Shared accounts hide who actually connected
- authorized_keys files drift away from reality
Keep client access scoped and temporary
- Manage server accounts centrally
- Grant access per person, server, account, and schedule
- Avoid shared SSH keys
- Keep access history visible
- Remove keys automatically when access ends

Keep client server access under control
Time-bound permissions and automatic cleanup help agencies avoid leaving keys on client servers after projects end.
