How to Share GoDaddy Account Access with Another User

If you need to share specific sections of your GoDaddy account with another user without giving them full access, you can delegate access on a per-product basis. This is helpful when you want to share access for certain tasks but maintain control over sensitive areas like billing or user management.

3. Select Permissions based on what parts of the account the user needs access to. You can give them access to domains, products, or other services.

How to Invite a Delegate in GoDaddy

A delegate is typically given access to manage certain aspects of your GoDaddy account without full control over it. This is ideal for external partners, teams, or contractors who need access to manage domains or hosting.

Step-by-Step Guide to Invite a Delegate

1. Go to the Delegate Access Section in your GoDaddy account settings.
2. Click Add Delegate and provide the name and email address of the person you want to invite.
3. Assign Permissions for the specific areas you want them to manage. You can restrict access to only domains or certain products.
4. Send the Invitation. Once the invite is accepted, they will gain access based on the permissions you’ve set.

How to Delegate Access to Specific Domains or Services

If you want to delegate access to specific domains or services, GoDaddy allows you to assign permissions to a user for individual domains. This is particularly useful for managing multiple websites or products while restricting access to others.

Step-by-Step Guide to Delegate Access to Specific Domains

1. Log into GoDaddy and go to Delegate Access.
2. Choose the Delegate you want to give access to.
3. Select the Domains or Services you want the delegate to manage. This can be done by checking specific boxes for each domain or product.

Use Cases for Specific Domain Delegation

• Collaborators: Giving access to contractors who need to manage the website of a specific domain.
• External Agencies: Allowing marketing teams to control DNS settings for a single domain while limiting access to your entire account.
