Adding members to your Cloudflare account allows you to collaborate with developers or agency partners without sharing your master login credentials. Follow these steps to invite a new user with specific permissions.
Step 1: Log In and Select Your Domain
- Log in to your Cloudflare Dashboard.
- Go to the “Websites” tab and find the specific domain you want to share access with. Click on it to open that domain’s overview.
- On the left-hand sidebar, scroll down to the bottom to the Manage Account section.
- Click the dropdown arrow and select Members.
Step 2: Start the Invitation Process
- In the Members tab, click the blue Invite button.
- Enter the Email Address of the person you want to invite.
Tip: You can invite multiple people at once by separating their emails with commas.
Step 3: Define the Scope of Access
The “Scope” determines how much of your account the user can see.
- Choose Include to grant access.
- Select Specific domains if you only want them to manage the website you selected in Step 1. Alternatively, select All domains if they need full account access.
Step 4: Assign Roles and Permissions
- Choose a Role:
- Super Administrator: Full access (including billing and member management).
- Administrator: Full access to settings, but cannot manage members or billing.
- DNS: Ideal for developers who only need to update DNS records (A, CNAME, MX, etc.).
- Review the permissions and click Create Policy.
Step 5: Review and Send
- Confirm the email, scope, and roles are correct.
- Click Invite.
What Happens Next?
- The Invitation: The user will receive an automated email from Cloudflare.
- Acceptance: They must click the link in the email to accept. If they don’t have an account, they will be prompted to create one.
- Managing Status: Your Members tab will show “Pending” until they accept. You can Resend or Revoke the invite at any time from this screen.
