## Quickstart

If you're installing 1Password CLI for the first time, [start here](/cli/get-started/).

## Guides

### Manage items and users

* [Create and retrieve items](/cli/item-create/).
* [Add and remove team members](/cli/provision-users/).
* [Manage your team members' vault permissions](/cli/grant-revoke-vault-permissions/).
* [Manage your team members' group permissions](/cli/reference/management-commands/group/).

### Provision secrets

* [Securely load environment variables from 1Password Environments into your applications](/cli/secrets-environment-variables/).
* [Access secrets in your code with secret references](/cli/secret-references/) instead of plaintext secrets. Secret references are replaced with the actual secrets they reference in 1Password at runtime.
* [Securely load secrets from the environment into your applications](/cli/secrets-environment-variables/) using secret references.
* [Securely inject secrets into configuration files](/cli/secrets-config-files/) using secret references.

### Authenticate with biometrics

* [Use shell plugins to securely authenticate third-party CLIs](/cli/shell-plugins/) with biometrics.
* [Build your own shell plugin](/cli/shell-plugins/contribute/) if the CLI you want to authenticate isn't already supported.

### Use 1Password CLI with other tools

* Use [1Password for VS Code](/vscode/) to bring 1Password CLI functionality to VS Code.
* Use [1Password Service Accounts](/service-accounts/get-started/#create-a-service-account) to limit the vaults 1Password CLI can access or run automated scripts if your personal account uses SSO or MFA.
* Use with [1Password Environments](/environments) to quickly load your project secrets from 1Password.
* Use a [1Password Connect Server](/connect/cli/) with 1Password CLI to securely access your items in your company's apps and cloud infrastructure using a private REST API.
* Use [1Password CI/CD Integrations](/ci-cd/) with 1Password CLI to allow jobs in your pipeline to securely access secrets stored in 1Password.
* Use the [1Password Events API](/events-api/generic-scripts#usage) with 1Password CLI to provision bearer tokens at runtime using [secret references](/cli/secret-references/).
