Collaborator Role
A collaborator is a user with access to the Site Tools of your site, excluding the email and domain management sections. They have their own SiteGround Client Area and do not log into yours. Collaborators can request support from SiteGround regarding your website.
Example: Adding a Developer, such as O’Brien Media, as a Collaborator
If you want to give your developer access to your site, you can add them as a collaborator:
- Navigate to Websites: Go to your Client Area and find the desired website.
- Manage Users: Click the kebab menu next to the website and select “Manage Users”.
- Add Users: Scroll down and click “Add Users”, then select the Collaborator option.
- Enter Developer Details: Fill in the email and name of your developer and click “Add”. Use the email address we provide to you along with a name you will remember is us.
- Send Invitation: The developer will receive an email to accept the invitation within 48 hours.
Once accepted, the developer will have access to all the Site Tools of your site, except the email management section. They will log into their own Client Area and will not have access to your login and profile details.
