Adding and Managing Contributors on Squarespace: A Complete Guide
Contributors help manage your Squarespace site by giving multiple people secure access with different permission levels. Each contributor needs their own Squarespace account, which they can create for free when accepting an invitation.
When you create a site, you're automatically the owner with full permissions. You can transfer ownership to another contributor while maintaining access as a contributor yourself.
Inviting Contributors:
- Send invitations via email address
- Recipients can create new accounts or add the site to existing ones
- Works for websites, parked domains, and Acuity subscriptions
- Enterprise customers can use SSO with Okta, Azure, ClassLink, or SAML options
Managing Access:
- Owners and administrators can modify contributor permissions
- Contributors can be granted multiple permission levels
- Contributors can remove themselves
- Owners/administrators can remove contributors when access is no longer needed
Special Cases:
- Google Workspace users are managed separately
- Domain contributors have separate management systems
- One-time authors can publish content without full contributor access
For collaborative site management, contributors provide a secure way to delegate responsibilities while maintaining control over site access and permissions. Each contributor's access can be customized based on their role and needs.
Important: Remember that all contributors must have their own individual accounts for security and tracking purposes. This helps maintain accountability and proper access management across your site.
