Giving a colleague access

Your website's manager invites colleagues to the CMS, and removes them again when they no longer need access.

Manager or user

  • Manager: manages the content and can invite and remove users. There is one manager per website.
  • User: manages the content, but not users.

Inviting someone

  1. On the left, go to Security and choose Users. (Can't see this? Then you are not the manager.)
  2. Click Invite user.
  3. Enter the email address and click Send invitation.

Your colleague receives an email with a link to choose their own password. The link is valid for 7 days. If your colleague already has a Windkracht account, they click Accept invitation in the email, log in and accept the invitation. They can also simply accept it after logging in: at the top of their Dashboard it says You have been invited to manage … with the buttons Accept and Decline. Your website then appears among their websites (switch at the top left).

Open invitations

Under Open invitations you can Send again or Revoke an invitation.

Removing someone

Click the bin icon (Remove) next to the user. They can then no longer manage your website. Do this straight away when someone leaves.

Giving a designer access

Do you work with your own designer or agency? Then you can link them to your website as a designer. A designer can view the draft of your website and request design changes from Windkracht. They do not see content, submissions, statistics or settings, and they do not count towards the maximum number of users. You can link several designers.

  1. Go to Security → Users and scroll to Designers.
  2. Click Invite designer.
  3. Search for the designer by name or studio and click Invite. Not in the list? Enter their email address at the bottom. They do need to have a designer account with Windkracht already.

The designer receives an email and has to accept the invitation. Until then they are listed as Awaiting acceptance (valid for 14 days; after that use Send again). You receive an email as soon as they accept or decline.

Unlinking a designer

Click the bin icon (Unlink) next to the designer. You can give a reason; the designer receives it by email. Their access to your website ends immediately. You can also do this on your phone, under More → Colleagues.

Reached the maximum? Above the list you can see how many users your website may have; that depends on your subscription. Open invitations count too, so revoke an invitation if it is no longer needed. Get in touch for more users.
