How can I create a CMS login for a client in Webflow with a premium account, ensuring they only see their site and have the ability to make text adjustments?
To create a CMS login for a client in Webflow with a premium account and restrict their access to only their site, while allowing them to make text adjustments, follow these steps:
Enable CMS Hosting: First, make sure you have a Webflow premium account, as CMS Hosting is a premium feature. Enable CMS Hosting for the website you want to give your client access to. This will allow them to log in and make changes to the CMS content.
Create a Client Account: Go to the Project Settings of the website you want to give access to, and navigate to the "Client Billing" tab. Click on "Add a Client Account" and enter your client's email address. This will send them an invitation to create an account and access the website.
Assign Client to the Website: After your client has created their account, go to the Project Settings again and click on "Add Client to this Project" on the "General" tab. Select the client's account from the dropdown list and click "Add Client to Project." This will grant them access to the website.
Set Client Privileges: Once the client is added to the project, you can control their access privileges. Click on the "Client Billing" tab in the Project Settings and select the client's account. Here, you can choose whether the client can access the Designer, Editor, or both. If you only want them to make text adjustments, select "Editor" only.
Restrict Client to Their Site: By default, clients will have access to all websites associated with your account. To restrict a client to their specific site, go to the "Editor Settings" for the website in question. Under the "General" tab, select the client's account from the "Client Access" dropdown list. This will limit their access to only their site.
Once you have completed these steps, your client will have access to the Webflow CMS Editor for their specific site. They will be able to log in, navigate to the Editor, make text adjustments, and publish changes without affecting any other websites under your account.
By following these steps, you can create a CMS login for your client in Webflow, ensure they only see their site, and grant them the ability to make text adjustments. This allows for a seamless collaborative workflow between you and your client, while maintaining control over the overall website management.
