Where can I give my client designer rights in Webflow to allow them to implement smaller changes without needing to involve me?
TL;DR
- Invite your client to your Webflow Workspace via Workspace Settings > Members, assigning them the Designer role.
- Ensure your Workspace plan (Core or higher) supports multiple Designers so they can access and edit projects in the Webflow Designer.
To allow your client to make smaller content or design edits without involving you, you can grant them Designer access in Webflow by inviting them as a Workspace member with the appropriate role.
1. Understand the Access Levels
- Designer Access allows users to open projects in the Webflow Designer, enabling them to change layouts, styles, CMS content, and more.
- Editor Access (via email invite from Site Settings > Editor) only allows content edits using the Editor interface, not full design changes.
- To give Designer access, your client must be added to your Workspace, and the Workspace must be on a plan that supports multiple collaborators (Core, Growth, or higher).
2. Go to Workspace Settings and Add User
- Log in to Webflow, then click your Workspace name in the left-hand panel.
- Go to Workspace Settings > Members.
- Click Invite Members.
- Enter your client’s email address.
3. Assign the Designer Role
- Choose the Designer role when inviting them.
- If you're on a Core plan, you can invite 1 other Designer along with you.
- On a Growth or higher plan, you can invite more Designers as needed.
4. Let the Client Access the Designer
- Once invited, your client will get an email to join the workspace.
- After accepting, they can open the relevant project and access the Webflow Designer directly from the Dashboard.
5. (Optional) Restrict Access With Permissions
- Webflow does not currently support fine-grained Designer permissions (e.g., limiting access to specific elements or pages).
- All Designers have full access to all projects in the Workspace unless you separate projects into different Workspaces.
Summary
To give your client Designer rights, invite them as a Workspace Member with the Designer role via Workspace Settings > Members. Make sure you're on a plan that allows multiple Designers. This will give them full access to the Webflow Designer to implement layout or design-related changes.
