Inviting your team and setting permissions

Never share your own login. If a developer needs access, invite them, and remove them when the work is done. That way you always know who did what, and their access ends the moment you want it to.

Inviting someone

1. Go to Team in your panel.
2. Choose Invite member.
3. Enter their email address.
4. Choose what they can access. You can limit a person to specific sites rather than the whole account.
5. Send the invitation. They will get an email and can sign in with Google or set a password.

What to give whom

• A developer working on one site. Give them access to that site only. They can deploy, use staging, reach the database and clear caches, without seeing your billing or your other sites.
• A colleague who manages content. They rarely need panel access at all. Give them a WordPress login instead.
• An agency you have hired. Give them the sites they are working on. Review it when the contract ends.
• A business partner. Full access, including billing, if that is genuinely what you want.

Billing and plan changes should stay with as few people as possible.

Removing someone

Go to Team, find the person, and remove them. Their access stops immediately. Do this on the person's last day, not a month later.

If a contractor also had a WordPress admin account, or a database user, or knew a mailbox password, change those too. Removing panel access does not automatically remove credentials you gave them elsewhere.

A note on shared logins

If several of you currently share one login, split it up. It costs nothing, and it means that when someone leaves, you revoke one person rather than resetting a password everybody knows.

Mailboxes are separate

Team members are not mailboxes. Giving someone access to the panel does not create an email address for them, and creating a mailbox does not give anyone panel access. See Creating a mailbox on your domain.
