Squarespace contributor permissions — the agency is invited as a contributor with a role. You'll find it under Settings → Permissions & Ownership → Invite Contributor. The client keeps ownership of Squarespace sites; the agency is granted only what you assign.
Grant the least access the work needs. Here's what each level on Squarespace can do:
| Access level / role | What it can do |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full control including billing and deletion. Keep this. |
| Administrator | Nearly full control except billing/ownership. |
| Website editor | Edit site content and design. |
| Store manager | Manage the store (for commerce sites). |
| Reporting/Billing/etc. | Scoped roles for specific tasks. |
1–2 minutes to invite; the agency accepts the emailed invitation.
Contributors are invited by their own email with a role — no password shared, removable anytime.
Every step above is why agencies move to a single link. HandItSafe requests exactly the Squarespace access you need — the client approves it through Squarespace'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.
