How do I Set Up Siteground?

Updated October 16, 2026 · Version 2

How to Give Our Team Access:

Siteground Access

In order to get shared access on Siteground, the account owner can add us as a Collaborator. They would send this access to grace@identitydental.com:

https://www.siteground.com/kb/can-add-collaborator-website/

This has to be done for each individual domain, and it does not allow us to update payment information for the client.

GoDaddy Access

In order to get shared access on GoDaddy, the account owner can provide us with Delegate Access. They would send this access to social@identitydental.com:

https://www.godaddy.com/help/invite-a-delegate-to-access-my-godaddy-account-12376

Provide us the 'Products, Domains, & Purchase' Access Level.

Google Domains Access

In order to get shared access on Google Domains, the account owner can provide us with Sharing access. They would send this access to social@identitydental.com:
