How to Provide Delegate Access in Godaddy
In today’s digital age, managing domain names and other online services has become an essential part of running a business or maintaining a personal website. One of the most popular domain registrars and web hosting providers is GoDaddy. To streamline the process of managing multiple accounts or allowing others to access your domain information, GoDaddy offers the option to provide delegate access. This article will guide you through the steps on how to provide delegate access in GoDaddy.
Step 1: Log in to Your GoDaddy Account
The first step in providing delegate access is to log in to your GoDaddy account. Go to the GoDaddy website and enter your username and password to access your account dashboard.
Step 2: Navigate to the Manage Domain Settings
Once you are logged in, locate the “My Products” section on the left-hand side of the dashboard. Click on “Manage” next to the domain for which you want to provide delegate access. This will take you to the domain management page.
Step 3: Select the Domain to Provide Delegate Access
On the domain management page, find the domain you want to grant access to and click on the “Manage” button next to it. This will open a new window with various options for managing the domain.
Step 4: Access the Delegate Access Settings
In the new window, scroll down and look for the “Delegate Access” section. Click on “Manage” to access the settings for delegate access.
Step 5: Add a Delegate
Click on the “Add Delegate” button to create a new delegate. Enter the delegate’s email address and choose the level of access you want to grant them. GoDaddy offers three levels of access:
– Full Access: The delegate can manage all aspects of the domain, including renewals, DNS settings, and privacy protection.
– Read-Only Access: The delegate can view domain information but cannot make any changes.
– Transfer Access: The delegate can initiate a domain transfer to another registrar.
Step 6: Save and Confirm
After selecting the appropriate level of access, click “Save” to add the delegate. You will receive a confirmation email with instructions for the delegate to accept the access invitation.
Step 7: Notify the Delegate
Once the delegate has accepted the invitation, make sure to notify them of their new access level and any specific instructions or guidelines you want them to follow.
By following these steps, you can easily provide delegate access in GoDaddy, allowing others to manage your domain on your behalf. This can be particularly useful for businesses with multiple domains or for situations where you need to grant temporary access to a third party.
