Central password storage tool that multiple users can access with privilege levels

passwordpassword-management

Working in web development I am in charge of a large array of passwords for various servers, CMSs, etc, etc. At the moment these are stored on paper in a safe, which is cumbersome and an enormous list.

Often my colleagues will also need access to various aspects of the various systems. But of course there are some things only certain people should see. Not all staff accessing it will be server admins some are account managers who just need to be able to login to a CMS to edit a webpage for example.

So I am looking for suggestions of a system that will facilitate this centralisation and safe sharing of passwords. Do you know of anything particularly awesome in this area?

The technology it is based on is not all together important as we run both Windows and Linux servers in the office. Also I would prefer an open source solution, but paid for is fine as well.

Currently PasswordState is looking like the front runner so any comments on that would also be interesting.

I would strongly recommend looking into Secret Server. It has the features your looking for plus logging and isn't very expensive. If you prefer open source and free check out Webkeepass. We started using Webkeepass but switched to Secret Server as it's much more user friendly.
