iubenda Multi-User Accounts Overview

With the iubenda multi-user accounts feature, invite multiple iubenda users to access the same iubenda dashboard!

What is the multi-user accounts feature?

Previously, an iubenda site or app project could only be accessed using one single email address, which was the email address used during initial signup. With our multi-user accounts feature, multiple iubenda users can now access the same dashboard (and all the related site/app projects) using their own individual email addresses.

💡 This feature is available in all our plans, both paying and free. Learn more about our offer on our pricing page

Why should you use it?

🚀 Seamless collaboration: no need to share login credentials
🚀 Improved flexibility: give and track relevant access to specific team members
🚀 Streamlined compliance management: assign various projects to members in charge of specific functions like whistleblowing management or DSR

Who is it for?

The iubenda multi-user accounts feature can be useful in a variety of scenarios, including:

  • Enabling multiple collaborators from the same digital agency to manage all of their clients’ websites without needing to share login credentials;
  • On the other hand, allowing clients who manage their own iubenda account to invite digital professionals they work with, such as agency collaborators or independent consultants, to access website compliance settings and information. For example, a developer might need access to embedding codes, or a marketing consultant may want to review analytics, such as consent rates.

💡 Note for agencies: This feature is not yet designed to allow each client to access their own project only within your iubenda team. Currently, all team members can view the entire dashboard, meaning all client projects are visible to everyone you invite.

If you have signed up to iubenda through one of our partners (see here all companies part of our team.blue group), iubenda multi-user accounts will look different for you:

  • The billing section of your iubenda interface will be empty as you have purchased the iubenda subscription via our partner. If you need to make any update like cancellation, upgrade or downgrade, we invite you to go to the partner company’s website or contact their support team.
  • A team is created and named the same as the partner company used to sign up (e.g. “Simply.uk”). That’s where your site project submitted during signup will be. In this team, your status will show as “USER” and not “ADMIN”. It means:
    • You cannot add extra users to join your team and collaborate but can only invite the WB manager and DSAR manager.
    • You cannot add new sites to that same interface but can only manage the one that you created the account for in the first place via our partner.
  • An extra default team is automatically created under the email address you used to sign up. You can easily switch to that team with the dropdown “Teams” on the grey banner at the top of the page.
    • Please use that team if you want to have an unlimited iubenda experience where you can create new sites, collaborate with other users, etc. within the same dashboard. However, know that within this team all new projects will be created with iubenda.com and not via our partner company anymore. You will be billed by iubenda directly.
    • When using different teams, always be careful not to create duplicate sites in between teams.

How does it work?

📌 Admins

Admins are the only ones who can invite new team members and access or manage billing information.

Who is considered an admin?

The admin is the user whose email address was used to register the account and is the owner of this account’s team. For any iubenda user, a default team is created (named after their email address), and the user is considered the admin of this team.

When inviting new members, the admin sets a role for each new invited user, which in turn gives them specific permissions. The available roles are:

  • User: Regular team member with access to the entire dashboard;
  • WB manager: The person in your organization in charge of whistleblowing management;
  • DSAR manager: The person in your organization in charge of handling DSAR requests.

📌 Member permissions

All team members have access to the admin’s entire iubenda dashboard, including all site/app projects. However, the access and management of certain products like our Whistleblowing Management Tool can be restricted.

Role Permissions
Admin – Access to the entire dashboard
– Team member management (invite, deletion)
– Access to billing information
User – Access to the entire dashboard
WB Manager – Access to the entire dashboard
– Access to our Whistleblowing Management Tool
DSAR Manager – Access to the entire dashboard

💡 More on admin billing access

Only the team’s admin can access and manage the Account & Billing section of their related account, including:

  • Payment methods;
  • Invoicing info;
  • Invoices and payment history;
  • Subscription management (new purchase, upgrade, downgrade).

📌 Admins: How to invite members

As an admin, you can invite members to your team. It can easily be done from the dedicated section within your iubenda dashboard. Here’s how:

  • Log into your iubenda account;
  • Once logged in, click on your email address on the top right;
  • Click on “Teams” to access your Teams area;
  • Click on the blue button “+ Add User”;

💡 To remove a team member, click on the bin icon next to the user of your choice in your Teams area.

  • Insert the email address of the user you want to invite;
  • Select the role you want to give this user (see above for role permissions);
  • Click on “Send invitation”;
  • You’re done! The user you invited will receive an email prompting them to join your team.

📌 Members: How to join a team

  • After the admin has added you as a new member, check out your inbox for your invitation email;
  • Click on the ‘Join now’ button on the email. You should be redirected to iubenda.com;
  • If you don’t have an iubenda account already, you will have to create one. If you have one, log in;
  • When accessing your own iubenda Teams area, you should be part of two teams:
    • Your default team;
    • The team you were invited to join.
  • Feel free to switch between teams using the “Teams of…” button at the top of the page, and start collaborating!
