Enable contributors to edit your domain, update billing, and more.

After you register your Squarespace domain, you can invite collaborators to log in and manage it as a team. Each contributor needs their own Squarespace account. When they accept a contributor invitation, they can create an account for free or add the domain to an existing account.

Domain permissions only apply to domains that don't share billing and contributor information with a Squarespace website. When you move a domain to a Squarespace website, all domain contributors are automatically removed and the domain shares the same contributor permissions as the website.

Before you begin

• Domain permissions only apply to domains that don't share billing and contributor information with a Squarespace website. When you move a domain to a Squarespace website, all domain contributors are automatically removed and the domain shares the same contributor permissions as the website.
• Contributors can remove themselves from the domain.
• There's no limit to how many contributors you can add to a domain.
• When you start with a new parked domain, you automatically become the domain owner, with owner-level permissions.

Permission levels

Use the table below to understand what each contributor role can and can't do, so you can decide which permissions to assign to your team.

Note: Domain managers with billing access can do anything a domain owner can. This permission level applies to users who were previously Admin contributors on a parking page. It's not possible to add new Domain managers with billing access to a domain.

Invite a contributor

To invite someone to contribute to your domain:

1. Open your domains dashboard.
2. Click your domain.
3. Click Permissions.
4. Click Invite Domains Manager.
5. Enter the contributor's name and email address.

Your contributor will receive an email invitation asking them to log into their existing Squarespace account or create a new one.

If you don't see the options to invite a Domains manager, domain-specific permissions aren't available for your domain because your domain shares its permission settings with the website it's associated with.

Manually send an invitation link

If the invited contributor isn't receiving your invitation email, have them check their spam folder or search no-reply@squarespace.com. If they still aren't receiving the email, you can manually send an invite link:

1. Open your domains dashboard.
2. Click your domain.
3. Click Permissions.
4. Click … next to the contributor's name in the Invites sent section of your Permissions panel.
5. Select Copy invite link.
6. Share the link with your contributor.

Accept a contributor invitation

When someone invites you as a contributor, you'll receive an email invitation with the subject line "Domain Manager Invitation from [inviter name]." Open the email and click Accept Invitation.

If you already have a Squarespace account

If you already have an account, you'll be prompted to log in. Enter your account email address and password, or log in using a social account. If you enabled two-factor authentication, you'll be prompted to enter an authentication code.

If you don't have a Squarespace account

If you don't have a Squarespace account, sign up by clicking Create Account. When you create an account, you’ll pick your login information. You can either:

• Use an email address and password to log in. We recommend using an email address you can easily access.
• Use your Apple, Facebook, or Google account to save time and log in with one click. You’ll be prompted to log into that account and make the connection to Squarespace.

Remove another contributor or yourself from the domain

If a contributor doesn't need access to the domain, or if they leave your business, you might want to remove them. This blocks them from logging in and making any changes. Domain owners and Domain managers can remove other Domain managers, including themselves, as contributors.

To remove a contributor from a domain:

1. Open your domains dashboard.
2. Click your domain.
3. Click Permissions.
4. Click … next to the contributor you want to remove, or next to your own name.
5. Click Remove domain manager if you're removing another contributor, or Remove if you're removing yourself.
6. If you're removing yourself, click Remove again to confirm.

Remove billing permissions from a contributor

To remove billing access from a Domain manager:

1. Open your domains dashboard.
2. Click your domain.
3. Click Permissions.
4. Click … next to the contributor you want to edit.
5. Select Remove billing permissions to remove billing access from a Domain manager with billing access and convert them to a Domain manager.

Update the Domain owner

There isn't a way to update the Domain owner for a domain that's not attached to a website. If you want to assign someone else to be the owner of your domain, you can create a free trial site to transfer the ownership:

1. Create a new trial site.
2. Add payment information to your new trial site.
3. Move your domain to the new trial site.
4. Invite the future owner as a contributor to the site.
5. Open the Permissions & Ownership panel.
6. Click the current site owner's name under Owner.
7. Click Transfer Ownership.
8. In the pop-up message, verify your account by logging in, then select the new owner from the drop-down menu.
9. Click Continue, then click Confirm.
10. Have the new owner update the domain contact information to their information.
