How to Share Marketing Platform Access with SGA
Step-by-step instructions for every platform. Follow only the sections that apply to your practice. Starred items (⭐) are required.
Before You Start
- Use xmark6527@gmail.com on every platform — do not substitute a different address.
- Always grant the highest available permission level (Owner, Admin, Full Control). The correct level is listed in each section.
- For platforms that need SGA to already have an account (Instagram, TikTok), SGA will set that up first and give you any username needed.
- If you hit a wall on any step, use the orange "Can't find it?" box at the bottom of that section.

Keeping Your Accounts Secure
Never Do This
- Email a password — even in a "private" email
- Text a password
- Put passwords in a Google Doc or spreadsheet
- Paste passwords into a chat or Slack message
- Share a password verbally on a recorded video call
Best Practice
- Add SGA by email using role-based access (preferred — most platforms support this)
- If you must share a password, use a self-destructing link
- Enable two-step verification on your own accounts
- Review who has access every January and July
- Remove access the same week a relationship ends
If You Must Share a Password
Some older platforms don't have "add by email" access. If you're ever asked to share a login, use one of these two methods instead of email or text:
Option 1 — Self-Destructing Link (Free, Takes 30 Seconds)
Go to onetimesecret.com or pwpush.com. Paste the password into the box, click Create, and copy the link. Send that link by email — once SGA opens it, it disappears permanently and cannot be accessed again.
Option 2 — Password Manager (Best for Ongoing Use)
Tools like 1Password (1password.com) and Bitwarden (bitwarden.com) let you store and share passwords without the other person ever seeing the actual password. If your practice doesn't already use one, this is worth setting up.
After You Share Access — Follow-Up Steps
- Keep a simple log. Write down which platforms you shared, the date, and the email used. A printed page in a locked drawer is fine.
- Change shared passwords after role-based access is set up. If you gave SGA a temporary password to get started, change it once they have their own login — their access doesn't depend on yours anymore.
- Turn on two-step verification. Enable it on your Google account, Facebook account, and GoDaddy account. It takes 5 minutes and is the single most effective security step available.
- Review access twice a year. Every January and July, check the Users section of each platform and remove anyone you no longer work with.
- Remove access the same week a relationship ends — vendor, employee, or agency. Don't wait.
