How do I add a user to my Cloudflare account?

In the Cloudflare dashboard open Manage Account then Members, click Invite members, enter the person's email address, choose the scope (the whole account or individual domains), switch on the Domain Administrator role, create the policy and click Invite members.

What is the difference between Domain Administrator, Administrator and Super Administrator in Cloudflare?

Super Administrator owns the account including billing, members and deletion. Administrator covers account-wide settings but not billing or memberships. Domain Administrator grants full control of the specific domains selected and nothing else.

Does adding a member to Cloudflare cost anything?

No. Cloudflare's free plan includes multiple members and adding one does not change your plan or your bill.

How do I remove someone from my Cloudflare account?

Go to Manage Account, then Members, find the email address, open the row menu and choose Remove. Access ends immediately.

Should I share my Cloudflare password instead of inviting a member?

No. A member invite is safer: it is logged, it keeps two-factor authentication intact, it can be scoped to one domain and you can revoke it yourself at any time.

How to add a domain administrator in Cloudflare

Every step below has a little replica of the real Cloudflare screen, and it clicks and types itself so you can see exactly where to go before you go there. Nothing gets deleted, nothing costs anything, and you can undo the whole thing in two clicks.

You'll need

The login for the Cloudflare account that holds your domain. That's all.

The role to pick

Domain Administrator — full control of your site, none of your billing.

The address to invite

{{ email }}

STEP 01

Sign in to Cloudflare

Head to dash.cloudflare.com and sign in with the email the domain was set up under. If you originally signed up with Google or Apple, use that button rather than the password box. Two-factor on? Keep your phone handy.

STEP 02

Open Manage account, then Members

Scroll to the very bottom of the left-hand sidebar. Manage account sits under all the other menus — click it and it unfolds. Members is the first item inside.

Click the blue Invite members button

The Members page lists everyone who can get into your account — often just you. The blue + Invite members button is top right.

Either choice works for us — pick whichever you're comfortable with.

STEP 06

Switch on Domain Administrator and send

Scroll down to the role list and switch on Domain Administrator — just that one. Then Create policy, and finally the blue Invite members button at the bottom of the page. Anything with Read Only in the name would leave us able to look but not fix.

Pending is exactly right — it flips to Active when we accept.
