Share GoDaddy access without sharing a password

Last updated: August 2026

To give an agency access to GoDaddy, use GoDaddy Delegate Access — the agency is invited as a delegate with a permission level, not your login. No password is shared, the client keeps ownership of GoDaddy accounts (domains, hosting), and access can be removed anytime.
Full step-by-step guide

The official way to grant GoDaddy access

GoDaddy Delegate Access — the agency is invited as a delegate with a permission level, not your login. You'll find it under Account Settings → Delegate Access → Invite to Access. The client keeps ownership of GoDaddy accounts (domains, hosting); the agency is granted only what you assign.

The mistake almost everyone makes: Sharing the GoDaddy login exposes domains and billing to everyone; delegate access scopes it.

What you'll need first

Access levels explained

Grant the least access the work needs. Here's what each level on GoDaddy can do:

Access level / roleWhat it can do
ProductsManage domains, hosting and products — no billing. Usual agency level.
Products & PaymentsManage products and make purchases/payments.
Products, Payments & RenewalsFull delegate access including renewals.
Account ownerFull control. Never share.

How long it takes

1–2 minutes to invite; the agency accepts the emailed invitation and signs in with their own GoDaddy account.

Why this is safer than sharing a password

Delegate Access lets the agency in with their own GoDaddy login at a scoped level — no password shared, removable anytime.

Or do it in one link

Every step above is why agencies move to a single link. HandItSafe requests exactly the GoDaddy access you need — the client approves it through GoDaddy's own process in about three minutes, no password shared, and keeps a panel to see and remove access anytime. That visibility is why clients approve faster, and it makes offboarding a one-tap job later.
