Inviting clients and access
On this page
After this page you know how to give a client access to their site, how they sign in, and how to change or remove their access.
Invite a client
On the site’s page, open Settings › Access and choose Invite clients. Add one or more email addresses and pick their step, what they may change: Text and images by default. See What your clients can change.
They get an email with a link. Until they sign in for the first time, they show as Pending, with Resend if the email got lost.
You can invite as many clients as you like, on every plan. See Plans and billing.
How a client signs in
A client signs in from their own site, at /edit, or from the link in their email. They enter their email address and get a 6-digit code by email. No password, no account to set up.
The page at /edit is a small page in your repository that only leads to the sign-in screen. Siteshare offers to add it when you set up the site. See Getting started.
What a client sees
Their own site in the editor, with a chat next to it. Nothing about repositories or code, and no other sites than the ones they were invited to. Someone who edits more than one site switches between them in the editor.
Change or remove access
In Access, change a client’s step with the list next to their name. Remove access takes effect at once: their next action is refused.
The owner of a site
Each site has an owner: the builder who added it, unless it was handed to someone else. Requests that need approval go to the owner. In Access, a client can also be made an Owner of the site: they can then invite people to edit it, and the site’s owner hears about each one by email.
One person at a time
Only one person edits a site at a time; others can watch. Someone who is idle for two minutes frees the site, and Take over is always possible: nothing that was saved is lost.
