Discover how to effectively manage collaborators on your Squarespace site with proper permissions and roles.

Site Ownership & Basic Permissions

• Site creators automatically become owners with full permissions
• Owners can transfer site ownership to other collaborators while retaining collaborator status
• Each collaborator needs their own Squarespace account (free or existing)

Managing Collaborators

• Invite collaborators using their email address
• Applicable for website access, parked domain pages, and Acuity subscriptions
• Owners and administrators can remove collaborators
• Collaborators can remove themselves from projects

Enterprise Features

• Single sign-on (SSO) available for Enterprise customers
• Compatible with authentication apps:
  • Okta
  • Azure
  • ClassLink
  • SAML options (including Google)

Permission Levels

• Multiple permission types available based on subscription
• Customizable access levels for each collaborator
• Owners and administrators can modify permissions
• Contributors can receive multiple permissions for specific access needs

Special Cases

• Google Workspace users managed separately
• Domain collaborators handled independently
• Basic author option available for guest content publishing without full collaboration access

This collaborative approach allows efficient team management and client delegation while maintaining security through precise permission controls.

Best Practices

• Regularly review collaborator access
• Assign permissions based on specific role requirements
• Maintain clear communication about access levels
• Update permissions as project needs change
