How to Add Collaborators to Your Grigora Site

The short answer

Grigora lets you share a site with other people and control what each of them can do. You invite someone by email, choose a role for them, and they get access to that site as soon as they accept. You can change a role or revoke access at any time.

Where to find collaborators

Open the site you want to share, go to Settings, and choose Collaborators. Everyone with access to that site is listed there, along with anyone who has been invited but has not accepted yet.

Access is granted per site rather than per account, so someone helping with one site does not automatically see the others.

The four roles

Grigora has four roles. Pick the narrowest one that lets the person do their job.

Administrator

Full control of the site, including settings, billing-related actions, domains, and managing other collaborators. Give this to people you would trust to delete the site.

Editor

Can create, edit and publish content across the site, including other people’s work, but cannot change who has access.

Author

Can write and publish their own content. Suited to a regular contributor you do not need to review every time.

Contributor

Can write content but not publish it. This is the role for freelancers and new writers, because an Editor or Administrator sees the work before it goes live.

How to invite someone

In Settings → Collaborators, enter the person’s email address, choose a role from the picker, and send the invitation. Grigora emails them a link that adds them to the site once they accept.

If the address already belongs to a collaborator on that site, Grigora tells you rather than sending a duplicate invitation.

Managing invitations that have not been accepted

Anyone who has been invited but has not accepted appears in the list as pending. You can resend the invitation email if it was missed, or cancel it, which invalidates the link.

Changing a role or removing access

Open a collaborator from the list to change their role. Removing someone revokes their access to that site immediately; it does not delete anything they wrote.

One safeguard is worth knowing: a site must always keep at least one Administrator, so the role picker is unavailable if you are the last one. Promote someone else first, then change your own role.

Choosing roles that fit how you work

A useful default is to invite writers as Contributors and promote them to Author once you trust their work to go out unreviewed. Keep Administrator for the one or two people who handle domains and billing, and use Editor for whoever owns the publishing calendar.

If several people work on the same site, agreeing who publishes is worth more than any setting. Roles enforce the decision; they do not make it for you.
