How Do I Add an Admin to Squarespace?

Last updated on December 12, 2022 @ 6:15 am

As the owner of a Squarespace site, you’re the only one with access to your site’s backend. This means that you’re solely responsible for managing site content, adding new pages, and changing site settings. If you need help managing your site, you can add an administrator.

Administrators have full access to all areas of the Squarespace backend.

This includes the Content Manager, Design Manager, Commerce Manager, and Settings Manager. As an administrator, they can make changes to any part of your site.

If you need help managing your Squarespace site, adding an administrator can be a great solution.
Here’s how to add an administrator to your Squarespace site:

PRO TIP: If you are not an experienced Squarespace user, do not attempt to add an admin to your site. This can result in serious problems with your site’s functionality and may even cause it to become inaccessible. If you are unsure about how to perform this task, please contact a Squarespace support representative for assistance.
  1. Log in to your Squarespace account and go to your Dashboard.
  2. Click on the “Settings” tab.
  3. Under “Site Management”, click on “Users”.
  4. Click on the “Add User” button.
  5. Enter the email address of the person you want to add as an administrator and select their user role. Then click “Add User”.
  6. The new administrator will receive an email with instructions on how to log in to your Squarespace site.
