If you’re a business looking to share access to your GoDaddy account with Simple Social or another trusted partner, delegate access is an easy way to do it. You don’t need to hand over your password—instead, you can permit them to manage certain aspects of your account. Here’s a step-by-step guide to inviting a delegate.
Step-by-Step Guide to Inviting a Delegate
- Sign in to Your GoDaddy Account: Log in to your GoDaddy account at GoDaddy.com. Once logged in, navigate to the account settings by clicking on your name in the upper-right corner and selecting “Account Settings.”
- Access Delegate Settings: Scroll down and click on Account Settings. Then, under the “Delegate Access” section, go to the People who can access my Account section, and select Invite to Access.
- Invite a Delegate: Enter the delegate’s email address and select the access level you want to assign (more on access levels below).
- Then, click Invite. The delegate will receive an email invitation to accept access.
Delegate Access Levels
GoDaddy offers three levels of delegate access, each with different permissions. Here’s what they allow:
- Products & Domains: This level allows the delegate to manage products like domain names, hosting, and email services. However, they cannot purchase new products or make account-level changes.
- Products, Domains & Purchase: In addition to managing products and domains, this access level allows the delegate to make purchases on your behalf. They can buy new domains or services but cannot view or modify your account settings.
- Email Marketing: This access level is specifically for managing your GoDaddy Email Marketing products. Delegates with this access can handle campaigns, lists, and settings related to your email marketing without accessing other parts of your account.
Removing Delegate Access
There may come a time when you need to revoke a delegate’s access, whether it’s because you no longer work with them or they’ve completed their task. Here’s how to remove a delegate from your GoDaddy account:
- Log in to Your Account: Sign in to your GoDaddy account and go to Account Settings.
- Navigate to Delegate Access: In the Delegate Access section, click on People Who Can Access My Account.
- Remove the Delegate: Find the person you want to remove and click Delete next to their name. Confirm the removal when prompted. The delegate will no longer have access to your account.
Managing delegate access in GoDaddy is a simple way for businesses to collaborate securely without sharing passwords. By selecting the appropriate level of access and knowing how to remove a delegate, when necessary, you can keep your account safe while allowing partners to help manage your online assets.
