Give Amabrik access to your GoDaddy site

If you’d rather not paste the Amabrik snippet yourself, Amabrik can install it for you. To do that we need access to your GoDaddy site. The right way to grant it depends on the kind of site you have, and there are two clean options below. Neither one means sharing your own password.

• GoDaddy Website Builder (Websites + Marketing / Airo): invite us as a delegate on your GoDaddy account, at the account level.
• GoDaddy WordPress hosting: add a dedicated Administrator user inside WordPress for us.

Before you start, you need to be the account owner (or already have full access). If you’re not sure, see Create an admin account on GoDaddy first. And read the honest Website Builder limit in that guide: overlay widgets like banners, popups, and cookie bars can’t run site-wide on Website Builder, so for those you’ll want WordPress or cPanel hosting.

Use the email Amabrik gives you

When you submit the Request Installation form, Amabrik confirms the exact email address to use. Use that email, and only that email, for the invite or the new user below. Don’t guess an address. It’s where the access goes, so it has to be the one Amabrik confirmed to you.

Option A: Delegate Access (Website Builder, or any GoDaddy account)

GoDaddy’s Delegate Access lets you share access to your products without revealing your password. Here’s how to invite Amabrik:

1. Sign in at account.godaddy.com.
2. Go to the Delegate Access page at account.godaddy.com/access (you can also reach it from your account name menu, under Account Settings > Delegate Access).
3. In the People who can access my account section, click Invite to Access.
4. Enter a Name (for example Amabrik) and the email address Amabrik confirmed to you when you submitted the Request Installation form.
5. Choose the access level “can manage most products” (the one that lets a helper manage your products but cannot buy new products or see your payment info). This is the right level for an agency or developer managing your site, and it keeps your billing private.
6. Click Invite.

GoDaddy emails an invitation to that address. We accept it from our own GoDaddy account (delegates need their own GoDaddy account to accept), and then we can open your Website Builder site and add the snippet.

A few honest notes:

• The invitation expires if it isn’t accepted within about 48 to 72 hours, so let us know once you’ve sent it.
• Delegate access is granted at the account level. The level above lets us manage your products without touching billing or your password. You stay in full control.
• On Website Builder, our access lets us edit the site, but custom code there lives in a per-page HTML section that GoDaddy renders in an iframe. Overlay widgets (banner, popup, cookie bar, floating button) won’t display correctly inside that frame. That’s the builder’s limit, not ours. For those widgets, use Option B on WordPress hosting instead.

Option B: Add a WordPress Administrator (GoDaddy WordPress hosting)

If your GoDaddy site is WordPress, the cleanest way is to create a separate Administrator user for us, not to share your own login. A dedicated user is safer: you can see exactly what we do, your own password stays private, and you can remove our access in one click when the install is done.

You need to be a WordPress Administrator yourself to add users.

1. Sign in to your WordPress admin at yourdomain.com/wp-admin.
2. In the left menu, go to Users > Add New (on some versions it’s Users > Add New User).
3. Username: type something clear like amabrik-install so it’s easy to spot later.
4. Email: enter the exact email address Amabrik confirmed to you. This is required, and it’s where the login details get sent.
5. First name, last name, and website are optional. Leave them blank or put Amabrik.
6. Password: leave the generated strong password as is.
7. Keep Send the new user an email about their account checked, so WordPress emails the sign-in details to the Amabrik address.
8. Role: open the Role dropdown and choose Administrator.
9. Click Add New User.

WordPress emails the login to the Amabrik address, we sign in, and we add the snippet to the site-wide <head> so every widget works across the whole site. You don’t need to send us the password yourself.

Fallback: a temporary login

If neither option works on your setup (some restricted setups limit delegate invites or user creation), you can share a temporary admin login with Amabrik instead. If you go this route:

• Share the login only through the secure channel Amabrik points you to, never in a public email or chat.
• Change that password right after the install is confirmed, so the temporary access ends.

A delegate invite or a dedicated WordPress Administrator is still safer, so prefer those when you can.

Remove the access after install

Once Amabrik confirms the snippet is live, remove our access. You don’t owe us standing access, and good security means revoking it the moment it’s no longer needed.

If you used Delegate Access:

1. Go to account.godaddy.com/access.
2. In People who can access my account, find the Amabrik delegate.
3. Open the options for that delegate and choose Remove (or Delete), then confirm.

If you added a WordPress Administrator:

1. Go to Users > All Users.
2. Hover over the amabrik-install user and click Delete.
3. WordPress asks what to do with that user’s content. The Amabrik user won’t have authored posts, so Delete all content is fine.
4. Confirm.

The snippet stays on your site; removing the access does not remove the install. From here, every widget change happens in your Amabrik dashboard, and we never need to touch your GoDaddy site again. If you used the temporary-login fallback, just change that account’s password to end our access.

FAQ

Delegate Access or a WordPress Administrator: which do I use?

On Website Builder, use Delegate Access (Option A). On GoDaddy WordPress hosting, a dedicated WordPress Administrator (Option B) is best, since it gives us the site-wide <head> every widget needs.

Why not just share my GoDaddy password?

You don’t need to. Delegate Access and a dedicated WordPress user both let us in without revealing your password, and you can remove the access in one click afterward. Sharing your main login gives away more than needed and is harder to undo.

Why does Amabrik need a specific email?

That’s where the access goes. The delegate invite and the WordPress login both get sent to that address, so use the exact one Amabrik confirmed when you submitted the Request Installation form.

The delegate invite expired. What happened?

GoDaddy invitations expire if they aren’t accepted within about 48 to 72 hours. Just send a fresh invite and tell us, and we’ll accept it promptly.

Can I remove the access as soon as I grant it?

Wait until Amabrik confirms the install is live. If you remove it first, we lose access before we’ve finished. Remove it right after we confirm.

Will removing the access remove my widgets?

No. The snippet stays on your site, and your widgets are controlled from your Amabrik dashboard. Removing the delegate or the WordPress user only ends our access to your site.

My site is on Website Builder and my banner or popup doesn’t show.

That’s the Website Builder iframe limit, not an access problem. Overlay widgets need a true site-wide head, which Website Builder doesn’t offer. Move to GoDaddy WordPress or cPanel hosting for those widgets and use Option B.
