How Do I Change Permissions on Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:42 am

There are two ways to change permissions on Squarespace:

1. To change permissions for an individual page or post, go to the Page Settings tab for that page or post, and click the Permissions button in the Page Information section. You can then select the desired permission level from the drop-down menu.

2. To change permissions for an entire website, go to Settings > Permissions. You can then select the desired permission level from the drop-down menu next to each website section.

The available permission levels are:

  • Private: Only logged-in users with permission can view this page or post.
  • Password Protected: Anyone can view this page or post, but they must first enter a password.
  • Public: Anyone can view this page or post.

If you’re not sure which permission level to choose, we recommend starting with Private or Password Protected and then changing it to Public if needed. That way, you can control who has access to your site while you’re still working on it, and then open it up to the public when it’s ready.

Conclusion: There are two ways to change permissions on Squarespace – for an individual page or post, go to Page Settings and click on the Permissions button in the Page Information section; or for an entire website, go to Settings > Permissions. The available permission levels are Private, Password Protected, and Public. If you’re not sure which permission level to choose, we recommend starting with Private or Password Protected and then changing it to Public if needed.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to change permissions on your Squarespace account, be aware that this may result in unexpected changes to your website. It is therefore recommended that you backup your website before making any changes.
