How do I give other people access to my account?

Go to Accounts and use Add someone to invite them by email with a role. The roles, from the most access to the least:

  • Full Admin: Every part of the account, including Billing and giving people access. Can also do the things that add a charge, such as turning a website on or creating a Data API key.
  • Tech Admin: Everything a Full Admin has except Billing, giving people access, and anything that adds a charge. Sets up channels, imports and websites, including each website's design, domain and settings.
  • Content Admin: Content only: website pages, posts, menus and images, plus art, films, clips, email campaigns, contacts and analytics. Cannot open channels, imports, the list of websites, a website's settings or domain, or anything about money.
  • Billing Only: Invoices and payment methods only, plus their own User Profile and Contact / Feedback. Nothing else in the account.

Everyone has their own User Profile for their name, password and sign-in. They sign in with their own Podspun login, and you can change or remove access anytime. If they have no login yet, they enter their email on the sign-in screen with any password: it tells them no password is set yet and emails them a link to set one. Giving someone access does not create a Podspun account for them: they work in yours.

These roles are the one place you manage access. They cover every website in the account too: a Full or Tech Admin can fully edit each site, and a Content Admin can edit each site's content. There is no separate per-site access list to keep in sync.

Account & Analytics · Full walkthrough

Make room for your team.

Give each person their own login and the account role that matches the work they do.

Before you start

You must be the account owner or have Full Admin access to give someone account access. Choose a role based on the work they actually need to do. Delegated roles cover this account; do not describe them as access to only one page or site.

Step 1

Open access for the correct account

Team & account access: Open access for the correct account
Open access for the correct account

Open Accounts and review which account you are managing. Find Add someone and People with access.

People sign in with their own Podspun login; you remain the owner. Do not share your login as a substitute for adding a person.

If you manage multiple accounts, switch to the intended account before granting access. The access is for that account's resources.

Step 2

Choose the appropriate role

Choose the appropriate role

Read the role choices before adding someone: Full Admin, Tech Admin, Content Admin or Billing Only.

Full Admin includes billing and giving people access. Tech Admin covers setup and websites but excludes billing, granting access and actions that add a charge.

Content Admin covers content work. Billing Only opens the billing area. Choose the smallest role that covers the person's real task; these are account roles, not a per-page invitation.

Step 3

Add and review access

Team & account access: Add and review access
Add and review access

Enter the person's intended email, choose the role and submit when ready to grant access. Review the resulting status in People with access.

Each access action saves on its own. Adding someone grants real access and sends the relevant invitation; it is not a harmless preview.

Review the email and role together before submitting. If the person already has a Podspun login, they use it to enter the account they were given.

Step 4

Maintain the team list

Review People with access when responsibilities change. Use the role control to change access, resend an invitation when needed or remove the intended person.

Changing a role saves immediately. Removing access stops that person from working in the account; it does not remove their separate account, if they have one.

Check invitation status before repeatedly resending. Keep access current when someone stops working with you.

Review checklist

  • The intended account is selected.
  • Email and role match the intended person and job.
  • Invitation or active status was reviewed.
  • Access is maintained as responsibilities change.

If you get stuck

I cannot add someone

Only the owner or a Full Admin can grant account access.

A colleague expects their own paid account

Being given access provides a login into the shared account; it does not create a separate account with its own websites and billing.
