Managing access to your Wix website is a breeze, thanks to Wix's intuitive features.

You can easily manage external access in one place using Access Passes, which allow you to email customizable pass links and set detailed permissions per pass.

To start using Access Passes, go to Site Settings > Users & Permissions, click Access Passes > Create an Access Pass, name your pass, configure settings/permissions, and email the pass link to recipients.

Having full control over pass parameters makes managing broader external shares simple.

You can also use Collaborator Access to invite others to view and access your site, with permissions ranging from editing site content to writing blog posts.

This feature is available on both the free plan and all premium plans, and you'll need the email addresses of the invited people.

To invite collaborators, go to Settings > Roles & Permissions, enter the email addresses of the people you want to invite, and assign the roles you want them to have by ticking the appropriate checkboxes.

You can assign new roles or adjust the existing ones by clicking the three dots next to the name of a collaborator and selecting Change Role in the menu.

Here's a quick rundown of the roles you can assign:

Be mindful of the potential challenges of Collaborator Access and choose the method that best aligns with your project needs, team capacity, and comfort level with the platform.

You can invite up to 10 people to collaborate on your Wix site by entering their email addresses in the Roles & Permissions section.

To add collaborators, go to the Wix website, sign into your account, and select Settings on the left side menu, then click on Roles & Permissions in the right panel.

Collaborators can have different roles, such as Website Editor or Blog Writer, which limit their capabilities to editing site content or writing blog posts, respectively.

Choose the right level of access for your collaborator by reviewing the permissions associated with each role.

You can assign new roles or adjust existing ones by clicking the three dots next to the collaborator's name and selecting Change Role in the menu.

To manage roles on Wix, go to the Wix website, log into your account, select Settings on the left side menu, and then click on Roles & Permissions in the right panel.

You can also manage roles on the Wix Owner app by tapping Manage, then scrolling down to the Settings section and tapping Roles & Permissions.

Collaborators can receive an email invitation to join your Wix site, and if they don't have a Wix account yet, they'll need to create one to accept the invitation.

Once a collaborator accepts the invitation, Wix will notify you that you've added them to the site.

You can remove collaborators from the site by changing their role to None or by clicking the three dots next to their name and selecting Remove Collaborator in the menu.
