If you’re trying to add someone to your Zapier account without having to share your direct login information, I probably have some bad news for you. To create separate user logins under your own account, you need to have a Zapier Teams or Zapier Company account. Otherwise, if you’re like most people and are on a Free, Starter, or Professional plan, you’re stuck with sharing your username and password with that person\/people\/agency.<\/p>\n

Using LastPass to Securely Share Passwords<\/h2>\n

Since exactly zero<\/em> of my clients have ever had a Team or Company account, I highly recommend\u00a0 signing up for a service like LastPass<\/a> to securely share passwords (and manage all your online passwords, notes, and credit cards in one central location). When both people have a LasPass account and you share account logins, LastPass hides your actual password from the person you’re sharing it with. So, if you were working with LGS and shared your password with me, yes, I could gain access to your account, but no, I don’t know the actual password.<\/p>\n

That is a very important security measure because most people reuse their username and passwords. So just because you think you’re only giving me access to Zapier, if I were an untrustworthy person, I could try that same username and password combination on things like your personal email, bank account, Netflix, etc.<\/p>\n

\"OneTimeSecretWe’re getting off the topic of adding users to your Zapier account, but you can see why sharing a password in a secure method is so important.<\/p>\n

Using OneTimeSecret to Securely Share Passwords<\/h2>\n

If you don’t like the idea of signing up for yet another account just to share passwords, I also suggest OneTimeSecret<\/a>. Here, you can virtually share anything you can type. The only downside is that the person receiving it will, and needs to, see your actual password. So, if you decide to use this service make sure you change your password before sharing it. Once the project is over or that person doesn’t need access anymore, you’re free to change it back.<\/p>\n

Adding Users to Zapier Teams and Zapier Company Accounts<\/h2>\n

If you’re one of the lucky few to have a Teams or Company account, you just have to follow three simple steps add a user to your account. The people you add can share tasks, app connections, Zaps, and a few other things outlined below.<\/p>\n

1. Login to your Zapier account and go to Settings<\/em> by clicking on your profile photo<\/h3>\n

\"Zapier<\/a><\/h2>\n

2. Go to Members<\/em> and click on Add Members<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Zapier<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Enter the email address of the person or agency you want to add<\/h3>\n

To add more than one user, simply separate each email address with a comma. An email invitation will be sent to the person\/people you added so make sure you entered the right email address.<\/p>\n

If the email address is already tied to a Zapier account, all the owner has to do is accept your invite. But if there\u2019s no Zapier account for the email address yet, the user would have to sign up first.<\/p>\n

What Can Members Do in Your Zapier Account?<\/h2>\n

When you add a user to your Zapier Teams or Company account, you are giving them access to some information and the ability to perform certain actions. Here are the permissions a member has on your Zapier account:<\/p>\n
