Collaboration and team access

How team access works

Shared access to the platform

Team members can access WP Umbrella without sharing credentials, making it easier to work together safely.

Permissions define scope

Permissions control what team members can access and which actions are available, helping prevent accidental changes.

Portfolio-level activity tracking

Maintenance actions and system events are tracked with timestamps and site context, giving visibility into what happened and when, across all sites.

Built for visibility, not surveillance

WP Umbrella is designed to provide operational visibility, not employee monitoring.

Instead of tracking individual WordPress admin actions, the platform focuses on:

  • What changed
  • When it happened
  • Which site was affected

This gives agencies clarity over their operations without introducing process overhead or micromanagement. As portfolios grow, portfolio-level traceability becomes more useful than per-site investigation.

How agencies typically use team access

Most agencies start by giving shared access to one or two team members who help with routine maintenance.

As team grows:

  • Responsibilities are distributed
  • Access is adjusted as needed
  • Founders or leads keep a clear overview of activity

This allows agencies to scale operations without relying on shared credentials or ad-hoc explanations.
