Guide to managing website access in Zyro, including adding collaborators and controlling who can edit your sites.
Prerequisites
To manage collaborators, you must have:
- Zyro paid plan (Unleash, eCommerce, or eCommerce Plus)
- Website ownership
- Admin access to the Zyro account
Plan Limits:
- Free: No collaborators (owner only)
- Unleash: Limited collaboration features
- eCommerce: Team collaboration available
- eCommerce Plus: Full team management
Understanding Zyro User Management
Zyro handles user management at the account level, not per website. Users you invite have access based on their role and the permissions you grant them.
Access Types
Owner:
- Full access to all websites
- Billing and subscription management
- User management
- Cannot be transferred
Admin (if available on your plan):
- Full access to websites
- Cannot manage billing
- Can manage other users (limited)
Editor (if available on your plan):
- Edit website content
- Cannot publish changes (depending on settings)
- Cannot manage users
- Cannot access billing
Adding Collaborators to Zyro
Method 1: Invite Team Members (Recommended)
Best for: Giving specific access to team members
Step 1: Access Team Settings
Zyro Dashboard → Account Settings → Team / Users
Note: Zyro rebranded as Hostinger Website Builder in 2024. If your interface looks different, check under the Hostinger dashboard's website management section.
Step 2: Invite User
- Click Invite Team Member or Add User
- Enter collaborator's email address
- Select role/permissions:
- Admin (full access except billing)
- Editor (content editing only)
- Custom (if available)
- Click Send Invitation
Note: Collaborator must have or create a Zyro account.
Step 3: Collaborator Accepts
- Collaborator receives email invitation
- Clicks Accept Invitation
- Signs in or creates Zyro account
- Gains access to shared websites
Method 2: Share Account Access (Not Recommended)
Last resort: Share login credentials
Drawbacks:
- Security risk
- No activity tracking
- No granular permissions
- Violates Terms of Service
Only use if your plan doesn't support team features.
