Logging into Your Kinsta Account

The first step in granting access is to log into your Kinsta account. This is straightforward; simply navigate to the Kinsta login page and enter your credentials. Once you're logged in, you'll have access to the Kinsta dashboard, where you can manage your sites and users.

Navigating to User Management

After logging in, the next step is to locate the user management section. You will find this under the Company Settings menu. Here’s how to navigate:

1. Click on Company Settings in the left sidebar.
2. Next, select Users.
3. Finally, click on Invite Users.

Inviting New Users

Now that you are in the invite users section, it’s time to add a new user. You will need to enter the email address of the person you wish to invite. Kinsta allows you to specify the type of user you want to add, which is crucial for controlling access levels.

Types of Users

There are three types of users you can add:

• Company Administrator: This user has full access to everything, including managing users and viewing billing information.
• Company Developer: This user has limited access and cannot see billing details. They can manage the technical aspects of your site.
• Company Billing: This user can only see billing details. They do not have access to any technical aspects.

Granting Access to Specific Sites

If you want to provide access to specific sites, Kinsta allows you to select which services the user can access. This is particularly useful if you have multiple WordPress sites and only want to grant access to certain ones.

To do this, simply select the WordPress sites you want the new user to have access to from the list provided. This ensures that the user can only manage the sites you designate, enhancing security and control.

Sending the Invitation

Once you’ve entered the email address and selected the appropriate user type and sites, all that’s left to do is send the invitation. Click the Send Invite button, and the user will receive an email with instructions on how to set up their account.

What Happens Next?

The invited user will receive an email prompting them to create their account. Once they complete the registration process, they will have access to the Kinsta account based on the permissions you assigned. It’s that easy!

Conclusion

Granting access to your Kinsta account is a straightforward process, significantly enhancing collaboration with developers or team members. By following these steps, you can ensure that your team has access while maintaining control over your site’s security. Kinsta WordPress hosting makes managing users a breeze, allowing you to focus on building and maintaining your website.
