key holder

Entrustee of access

A key holder is someone entrusted with keys to a place—typically an employee authorized to open or close a business: She's a key holder, so she can let us in early.

The term also refers to a small device or accessory for organizing keys: a leather key holder, a wall-mounted key holder by the door.
