How to Add a Collaborator in Wix (Step-by-Step Guide)

To begin development, your website designer needs collaborator access to your Wix account.

This allows them to build and configure your website without taking ownership of your account.

Here’s exactly how to add a collaborator in Wix.

Step 1: Log Into Your Wix Account

Go to www.wix.com and log in.

From your dashboard, select the website you’re working on.

Step 2: Go to Settings

Inside your site dashboard:

• Click Settings

• Scroll to Roles & Permissions

Step 3: Click "Invite Collaborator"

Select:

➕ Invite Collaborator

Enter your designer’s email address exactly as provided.

Step 4: Assign the Correct Role

For full website development access, assign:

✔ Website Manager

or

✔ Admin (if required for advanced integrations)

If unsure which role to choose, confirm with your designer before sending.

Step 5: Send Invitation

Click “Send Invite.”

Your designer will receive an email and accept the invitation.

Once accepted, development can begin.

Important Notes

• You retain full ownership of your Wix account at all times.

• Collaborators cannot transfer ownership of your site.

• You can remove collaborator access at any time.

Adding access promptly prevents delays in your project timeline.

Final Reminder

Your website build cannot begin until collaborator access has been granted.

If you’re unsure whether access was sent successfully, check your Wix “Roles & Permissions” section to confirm status.
