Sounds like you didn't confirm the second account from the Organization owner (the first account)

There are two steps, first you invite, then you confirm the invited user. (in original server there's mid step of user confirming they want to join Organization, but that one is skipped with bitwarden_rs as we don't have email functionality to send the invitation)

I tried to reproduce this, but I can't. The only time I can see the "cannot decrypt" message is when the user is invited, but not yet confirmed. In the image bellow you can see Test2 user being in such state. (the list shows they are "accepted") You just need to confirm the user and they should see the cypher after they sync.

Thanks for the replies - this was as described - I still needed to confirm the second user. I guess SMTP config would be helpful here.

As per discussion with Dani, I've created #80 to fix this. We shouldn't really be showing you the ciphers in the first place.
