Managing domains, hosting, and email can get complicated, especially when you’re working with developers, marketers, or team members who need account access. Instead of sharing your GoDaddy login (which is a bad idea from a security standpoint), you can delegate access and give them exactly the permissions they need.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to delegate access in GoDaddy, why it matters, and how to manage users securely.
Prerequisites Before You Start
Before you delegate access:
- Make sure you have an active GoDaddy account.
- You’ll need the name and email address of the person you’re inviting.
- The invited person must also create a GoDaddy account if they don’t have one.
How to Delegate Access in GoDaddy? (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Log In to Your GoDaddy Account
Go to godaddy.com and log in to your account.
Step 2: Go to Account Settings → Delegate Access
- Click your profile icon (top right)
- Select “Account Settings”
- Then click “Delegate Access”
Step 3: Click “Grant Access”
You’ll see a section called “People who can access my account”.
- Click the “Grant Access” button.
Step 4: Enter Their Details
- Enter the name and email address of the person.
- Choose their access level:
- Products & Domains: Can manage hosting, domains, and email
- All Access: Full access including purchases (use with caution)
Step 5: Send the Invitation
- Click “Invite”
- The person will receive an email to accept your invite
- Once accepted, they’ll appear in your delegate access list
How to Manage or Remove Delegates?
To view or manage delegates:
- Go back to Account Settings > Delegate Access
- Under “People who can access my account”, you’ll see all active delegates
- Click Edit or Remove Access as needed
What Is Delegate Access in GoDaddy?
Delegate access lets you grant someone permission to access your GoDaddy products (domains, hosting, etc.) without giving them your login credentials. It’s a secure way to collaborate with your web designer, developer, agency, or internal team.
Depending on the role you assign, they can:
- Manage domains
- Configure hosting
- Set up email
- But not see your billing details or make purchases (unless you allow it)
Why Use Delegate Access?
Here are some key benefits:
- Security: No need to share passwords or personal login info.
- Control: Assign limited access only to the services they need.
- Flexibility: Revoke access anytime with a few clicks.
- Productivity: Streamlines work with your web team or agency.
