As a web developer or agency, I want to be able to grant a client access to specific widgets within his project. This will prevent the client from messing up some settings.
Guys, your feedback is crucial to us, so if you need this feature, please:
- Hit “Vote” to show your interest.
- Leave a comment with any questions, suggestions, or even objections – we’re all ears for a good chat!
Couldn’t agree more on this issue. Sociablekit offers this feature but we prefer to work with elf.
What is the status of this feature? It appears to have been in the works for some time (mid-2023). As a developer, it is very much needed to manage all client widgets in one place, but allow each client the ability to manage their Project widgets. Thanks so much.
Hey there @user9727 and welcome aboard
The team members feature implies sharing access to your account only among your colleagues. However, you need to allow your clients to manage their project widgets.
We have a separate request in the Wishlist that perfectly matches your case and I’ve moved your comment there too. We’ll keep you abreast of any changes here
Many thanks for sharing your feedback with us!
Hello!
We are gathering more detailed information about the function of providing access to widgets for clients. Please answer the following questions:
- Which widgets would you like to provide access to for your clients?
- Why do you want to provide access to these widgets for your clients? Please list all the reasons if there are multiple.
Every opinion is important to us!
Thank you!
I don’t need access per widget - I need to be able to give my clients access (reader, editor, admin) to the project I built for them - the project will includes all the widgets I initially build and manage for them
I agree with The_Algar. The main goal is to give access to certain projects. The project can include different widgets depending on the need.
The reasons:
- Client is (or can be) the editor; for example in events calendar widget this is crucial
- Client might want to make changes to the widgets (depending on widget options that is offered)
Hi @Andrei,
you don’t need to share all the widgets with the customer.
It is necessary to make them (make them?*) access only the widgets where they must independently enter content (e.g. events, menus, etc.).
It might be useful for us to have all the same client’s widgets in one place, but we would need to grant one or more people access to one or more widgets.
*Example:
Client Hotel XY
John (front desk) needs to be able to access events but not everything else
Marc (restaurant) must be able to access the menu but not the rest
Elga (owner) must be able to access both
We (agency) access the same widgets and all others that are not shared.
I hope I was able to explain myself.
Bye.
Exactly what The_Algar said. As web developers/contractors/freelancers, we utilize Elfsight.com for the widgets by Project. Each Project basically represents a client’s widgets. We need at least one sub-user account per Project, which would allow us to give clients access to their Project (widgets). I don’t know what simpler way to say it. Most of my clients have no interest in setting up nor managing an Elfsight.com account. This is a tool of the trade, which helps simplify our work flow.
Yes I agree if there is additional restriction feature like you can hide/unhide your selected widget to the client. It means you can assign only the necessary widgets to client’s assigned project.
Friends, important note: this request was mistakenly marked as “In progress”, I’m very sorry
We’re working on another option, where you can share access to all widgets in a project: Provide a client with access to all widgets within his project
My apologies for the inconvenience one more time!
Yes this is Huge and will allow me to keep my subscription long term…
Calendar
I am a Freelancer, I use some widgets on the sites I make, there is a widget that I need to create now, that would make sense only if the business owner is able to actually edit the widget daily and change his prices. This is basically a pricing table for different karats of gold. it would only be possible if the actual owner is also able to change the prices daily, without getting onto my account. Making it secure so that only users with a password for that specific app can access it.
Hey there and welcome aboard, @Akram_Alkhatar
We already have a similar idea on the Wishlist. I’ve merged your comment with the request where we’ll keep you updated
Many thanks for the feedback!
