Keeper Security has announced the availability of the Keeper Teams App, a new integration designed to bring privileged access request and approval workflows directly into Microsoft Teams.
Powered by Keeper Secrets Manager (KSM) and Commander Service Mode, the application enables organisations to manage privileged credential access within Teams while maintaining Keeper’s zero-knowledge security model. According to the company, all cryptographic operations and credential data remain within the customer’s own environment rather than passing through Keeper’s cloud infrastructure.
The integration is intended to address a common challenge for organisations that rely on collaboration platforms for day-to-day operations but continue to manage privileged access through emails, IT service tickets or separate approval portals. By embedding access governance directly into Microsoft Teams, Keeper aims to improve visibility over privileged access requests while reducing friction for users.
The Keeper Teams App supports five core workflows, including record and folder access requests, one-time secret sharing, Keeper Endpoint Privilege Manager approval requests, SSO Cloud device approvals and self-service secret creation.
Users can request time-limited access to vault records or shared folders, with requests including justification and custom permissions. Where privileged access involves PAM User records, credentials are automatically rotated once the approved access window expires, helping organisations enforce zero standing privilege.
The application also supports one-time password and secret sharing through self-destructing links, while endpoint privilege elevation requests can be routed directly to approvers within dedicated Microsoft Teams channels. Administrators can also approve SSO Cloud device requests from within Teams where Keeper Automator has not been deployed.
For organisations using Nested Shared Folders (NSF), the Teams App automatically detects whether requested items are stored in Classic shared folders or NSF environments and presents the appropriate permission model during the approval process.
“The weakest point in any access control strategy is the moment a user decides to work around it because the approved process is too cumbersome or slow,” said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder, Keeper Security. “By embedding approval workflows directly into Teams, we removed the friction that drives those workarounds, so the secure path and the fast path are one in the same.”
Keeper said the Teams App is deployed alongside Commander Service Mode using Docker on customer-managed infrastructure, ensuring credentials and secrets remain within the customer’s environment. Configuration is managed through Keeper Secrets Manager, while a dedicated setup command within Keeper Commander is designed to simplify deployment.
The launch expands Keeper’s growing portfolio of workflow integrations, joining existing integrations with Jira, ServiceNow and Slack. The company said the strategy is designed to embed privileged access governance into the collaboration and IT platforms organisations already use, while maintaining encryption, auditing and zero-trust controls.
The Keeper Teams App is available immediately for organisations with a Keeper Secrets Manager or KeeperPAM licence.
