Managing domain permissions

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

Domain permission levels

Check domain permission levels when sharing information with parked domain customers. To know what information can be shared with each domain permissions level when discussing and troubleshooting issues like:

  • Updating billing information
  • DNS troubleshooting
  • Helping to connect/move the domain 

Use the table below to understand what each contributor role can and can't do and what can be shared with them.

Domain managers with billing access

Domain managers with billing access can do anything a domain owner can. It's not possible to add new Domain managers with billing access to a domain, or upgrade Domain managers to Domain managers with billing access. 

This permission level only applies to users who were previously:

  • Contributors with Admin permissions on a parked domain
  • Contributors on a migrated domain with an attached Google Workspace account

Invite a contributor

To invite someone to contribute to your domain:

  1. Open your domains dashboard.
  2. Click your domain.
  3. Click Permissions (Domain Manager).
  4. Click Invite domain manager.
  5. Enter the contributor's name (Garth Jordan) and email address (garth@2556media.com).

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 option to invite a Domain manager, domain-specific permissions aren't available for your domain because your domain shares its permission settings with the website it's associated with. To invite someone to contribute to your domain, you can add them as an Administrator instead.
