How to Grant Server Access to Freelancers Safely

Freelancers need access to do their jobs, but giving them your master FTP password is a massive risk. You need a managed access handshake.

Identity-Bound Access

Invite your freelancer to a specific server via their email. Give them the "Auditor" role so they can inspect and download what they need, but can't alter your server settings. This Identity Handshake ensures you stay in control.

Revokable Permissions

When the contract is over, you don't need to rotate passwords. Just click "Revoke" in your managed team dashboard. Access is terminated instantly, and your server remains pristine.

Audit Their Activity

Stay informed. Use the compliance audit logs to see exactly which files your contractors are interacting with. It's not about micro-management; it's about transparency and security.
