Inviting A Contributor

Add team members to your account who can help create and edit content on your site.

Each individual who has a Squarespace account and can access your content is considered a contributor. In case you have other people assisting you in managing your site, domain, or other subscription, you can invite them to contribute and regulate their access by assigning specific permissions.

Before you Begin Here’s something you should know:

• The ability to invite contributors is limited to owners and administrators only.
• For the Personal and Cover Page plans (which have been discontinued), you have the option to include one additional contributor, resulting in a total of two contributors including the owner. However, on trial sites and other billing plans, there is the ability to add an unlimited amount of contributors.
• To prevent conflicts where edits overwrite one another, it is advisable to communicate and coordinate with multiple contributors who are simultaneously making content changes.
• Contributors with admin permissions are the only ones allowed to be added on parking pages.

Here’s How You Can Invite a Contributor To Your Squarespace:

• To invite a contributor, access the permissions panel and select the option "Invite Contributor".
• In the window provided for inviting contributors, input the name and email address of the person you wish to invite.
• Toggle the switches to grant contributor permissions according to their respective roles. You have the option to enable the administrator toggle to grant all permissions, or select specific permissions for each role.
• To send an invitation, simply click on the "Invite" button.
• Your collaborator will receive an email request inviting them to either sign in to their current Squarespace account or establish a new one.

• Editing permissions for oneself is not possible for contributors.
• The owner is the only contributor whose permissions cannot be edited by administrators, even other administrators.
• If a contributor is granted administrator permissions, they will be empowered with all the permissions that come with other roles, hence disabling other permission toggles.
• Per-page editing permissions are not supported by Squarespace.

Editing permissions:

• To view the list of all contributors, access the permissions panel.
• To view a contributor's profile, simply click on their name in the Contributors section.
• Toggle the switches to activate or deactivate permissions for the contributor's management tasks. You can choose to enable more than one permission. For further information on the available permissions, please refer to the Squarespace permissions explained resource.
• Click “Save”.

Removing A Contributor

In the event that a contributor is no longer associated with your company or does not require access to edit your website, it is recommended to delete their contributor profile.
