Your site's success relies on effective team collaboration. Here's how to manage contributors in Squarespace:

Adding Contributors

Contributors need their own Squarespace account to access your site. Upon invitation, they can create a free account or link an existing one. Send invitations via email to grant site access.

Site Ownership Basics

• Site creators automatically become owners with full permissions
• Ownership can be transferred to other contributors
• Original owners remain as contributors after transfer

Managing Access

To add or remove contributors:

1. Send email invitations for new contributors
2. Assign specific permission levels based on roles
3. Remove access when no longer needed
4. Contributors can also remove themselves

Enterprise users can implement Single Sign-On (SSO) through:

• Okta
• Azure
• ClassLink
• SAML options including Google

Permission Levels

Customize access by assigning different permission combinations:

• Owner: Full site control
• Administrator: Extensive management rights
• Basic Contributor: Limited access
• Custom: Tailored permission sets

Special Cases

Domain Contributors:

• Managed separately from website contributors
• Can access domain features without website permissions
• Perfect for technical teams

Temporary Contributors:

• Ideal for guest content
• Allow publishing under generic names
• No need for permanent account creation

This system ensures secure, efficient site management while maintaining appropriate access levels for team members.

Note: Google Workspace users are managed through a separate system - refer to Google Workspace documentation for user management details.
