AccessLedger Documentation

AccessLedger is a lightweight web app for managing a credential inventory and tracking emergency (break-glass) access requests end to end.

The goal is to make emergency access auditable and repeatable without requiring a heavyweight PAM platform or replacing the vault and storage process you already use.

What you can do here​

  • Track credentials: owner, storage location, risk level, rotation schedule, notes.
  • Request emergency access and record approvals, expirations, and post-use notes.
  • Monitor rotation status (overdue, due soon, on schedule, no schedule).
  • Review an audit log of key events and export it to CSV (admin/auditor).
  • Configure email reminder cadence for expiring access (admin).
  • Create a new organization with self-serve signup and reset passwords as needed.
  • Verify email for notification delivery.

Launch posture​

AccessLedger is currently positioned as a founder-led pilot for teams that want a focused break-glass workflow and audit-evidence layer. The product is intentionally narrower than a full privileged access management platform: it helps document and control emergency access around existing secret storage rather than acting as the secret vault itself.

Where to start​

  1. Read the Quickstart to get oriented and complete your first request workflow.
  2. Review Core Concepts and Roles and Permissions to understand the data model and what each role can do.
  3. Follow the guides for Credentials and Access Requests to walk through the core workflow.
