For the client to follow results with their own login, invite their people into the client’s space. Each invite goes by email and sets a role: Admin, Editor or Viewer. Inviting the client does not use seats from your plan.

Before you start

  • Who can invite: the agency team or a client Admin.
  • Only the agency team can grant the Admin role. A client Admin invites Editor and Viewer.
  • Have each person’s email. One invite per person.
  • Recommended: apply the client’s brand and have a report ready first. See What the client sees in the portal.

Step by step

    Step 1

    Step 4

    Send the invite

    Click Send invitation. The person shows up on the Team card as “Pending invite” until they accept.

Other places that lead to the same invite: the Invite people step when creating the client, the Members tab on the client profile (Invite button) and the Invite … to the portal step in the getting-started guide on the agency Home.

What happens next

  • The person gets an email with the invite link.
  • When they open it, they see Confirm your access with the client, the agency and the Role, and click Accept and continue.
  • People without an account create one with Full name and Password (at least 8 characters).
  • From then on, the person enters the portal with their own login. On the Team card, the role shows as “Client · Admin”, “Client · Editor” or “Client · Viewer”.
  • In the agency getting-started guide, this client’s portal step checks itself off once there is a pending invite or someone from the client with access.

Cancel invites and remove people

On the Members tab of the client profile, each row has a ⋯ menu (on mobile it is always visible):

  • Cancel invitation: invalidates an invite that has not been accepted yet.
  • Remove member: removes the person’s access to this client. Their account still exists.
  • Nobody can remove themselves.
  • A client Admin cannot remove another Admin. Only the agency can.
  • The client’s last Admin cannot be removed. Give the Admin role to someone else first.
  • The agency team shows with the “agency” tag and is not removed here: it accesses every client.

Common issues

  • The invite never arrived. Ask the person to check spam and promotions. If it is not there, cancel the invite and send it again, double-checking the email. See The invite never arrived.
  • “We couldn’t accept the invitation.” The link expired or was already used. Cancel and send a new invite.
  • “You don’t have permission to invite.” Your role on the client is Editor or Viewer. Ask an Admin or the agency.
  • I can’t choose Admin. Only the agency team grants that role.

Frequently asked questions

How many people from the client can I invite?

There is no seat limit for client people. They do not count toward the agency plan.

Can I change someone’s role later?

To change the role, remove the person and invite them again with the right role.

What does the person see when they sign in?

The client portal, with Overview, Spaces, Reports and Timeline. See What the client sees in the portal.

If I archive the client, are invites still valid?

No. Archiving cancels pending invites and cuts access for everyone on the client side.
