Introduction

Managing a Cloudflare account often involves collaboration among multiple users, such as administrators, developers, or billing managers. Instead of sharing a single login credential — which poses security risks — Cloudflare allows you to invite additional members with customizable roles and permissions. This ensures that each team member only has access to the areas they are responsible for, improving security, accountability, and operational efficiency.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to invite a member to your Cloudflare account, and explain the different roles you can assign to manage access more effectively.

Prerequisites

  • You must have an existing Cloudflare account with at least one active zone (domain).
  • Only account owners or users with Admin privileges can invite new members.

 

📝 Steps to Invite a Member

Step 1: Log in to the Cloudflare Dashboard

 

Step 2: Select Your Account

  • Choose the account where you want to add a new member.

 

Step 3: Access the Members Page

  • Navigate to the left sidebar
  • Go to Manage Account > Members.

Step 4: Start the Invitation

  • Click Invite.

 

Step 5: Fill in the Invitation Details

  • Invite members: Enter one or more email addresses. (If inviting multiple people, separate email addresses with commas.)

  • Scope: Use various filters to adjust the access scope (zones, services, etc.).

  • Roles: Select one or more roles to assign to the new members.

Step 6: Review and Send

  • Select Continue to summary.

  • Review the information.
