If you want to give your client Designer access in Webflow so they can make smaller edits independently, you need to invite them properly within your project.
1. Open Your Webflow Dashboard
- Log into Webflow and go to your main Dashboard.
- Locate the project (Website) you want to give access to.
2. Go to Project Settings
- Click on the three dots next to your project thumbnail or open the project and then click Settings in the upper left corner.
3. Invite a New Collaborator
- Navigate to the Members & Permissions tab.
- Click Invite New Member.
4. Assign the Correct Role
- When inviting the client, you will choose a role:
- Full Designer Access: Allows them to open the Webflow Designer and make layout, style, and content changes.
- Dashboard Access Only: Only allows access to settings, billing, etc., not design editing.
- Editor Access: Only allows editing content through the Webflow Editor, not full design changes.
- Choose “Designer” if you want them to access the full Designer platform.
Important: Designer access counts toward your site's seat limit if you are on the Webflow Team/Workspace plans. Otherwise, only you, as the owner, get Designer access unless upgrading.
5. Send the Invitation
- Enter their email address, assign the correct role, and click Send Invite.
- The client will get an email allowing them to set up their access.
6. Set Limits and Permissions (Optional)
- If needed, use the Workspace Roles (Enterprise feature) to fine-tune what actions the client can perform, but basic plans have limited role flexibility.
Summary
To give your client Designer rights in Webflow, navigate to Project Settings → Members & Permissions → Invite New Member, assign them Designer access, and send the invitation. Make sure you’re aware of your Workspace plan’s seat limitations before handing out access.
