How to add an admin to your Squarespace site.
Managing a Squarespace website often requires collaboration. Whether you have your team or a consultant helping with content creation, site design, or marketing, giving the right people admin access can streamline your workflow. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to add an admin to your Squarespace site and manage contributor roles safely.
Why having a Squarespace Admin is important
Adding an admin or contributor allows your team to edit pages, manage blog posts, and update content without sharing your personal login. Squarespace makes it easy to control who has access and what they can do, helping protect your site while allowing your team to complete their responsibilities.
Step 1: Log Into Squarespace
To get started, log into your Squarespace account and select the site that you want to add admin to. Remember, only the site owner or existing admin can add new contributors.
Step 2: Navigate to Settings → Permissions
From your Squarespace dashboard, go to “Settings” (shown as the gear icon at the bottom left) then select “Permissions & Ownership.” This is the central hub for managing Squarespace admin access and contributor roles.
Step 3: Invite a New Contributor
Click Invite Contributor. At this point it might prompt you to login to verify your identity.
Enter the person’s email address who you want to add as an admin. They’ll need a Squarespace account to accept your invitation.
