You can invite other people to work on your website as staff members. Staff members can help you update content, manage modules, and maintain the site—useful for teams and for clients if you build websites for others.
This guide explains how to add, manage, and disable staff access.
Add a Staff Member
- Go to your website.
- Click Settings and select Staff.
- Click Add New Staff Member.
- Enter the staff member’s email address.
- Save your changes.
The invited user will receive an email notification. Once they accept, your website will appear in their account dashboard under their Staff group.
Manage Staff Access and Permissions
As the Website Administrator, you control what each staff member can do.
To edit permissions:
- In your account dashboard, go to Settings → Staff.
- Find the staff member in the list.
- Click Edit next to their name.
Choose a role
- Admin
Gives the staff member the same access as the Website Administrator, including:- Editing all sections
- Adding/removing content
- Full website management
Use Admin only when you want to grant full control.
- Custom
Lets you limit access by module and permission level.
- Choose modules (Custom role)
Select which modules the staff member can access. Available modules depend on what’s enabled on your website.
Some modules include permission levels such as:- Manage the module
- Manage the module’s activities
Important: With Custom permissions, you must select at least one module.
Staff System Updates and Limits
Security and organization

The number of staff members you can add depends on your subscription plan.
If you reach your plan’s limit:

To add more staff, you’ll need to upgrade your subscription plan.
Disable or Re-enable a Staff Member
Disable access

- Find the staff member you want to remove.
- Click Disable.
Re-enable access
- In the Staff list, change the top filter from Active to Disabled.
- Find the staff member and click Enable.
When you re-enable someone, their previous permissions are restored.
Notes
- Staff members must have their own account. If they don’t, they can create one directly from the invitation email.
