CLIENT PERMISSIONS / YOUR AGENCY’S RULES

Give them room to work.
Keep the boundaries clear.

Choose what each client can access in their Astro project. Separate conversations, preview and content permissions, while design, source code and content approval stay with your agency.

YOUR SITES. YOUR RULES.MADE FOR ASTRO
NINE PERMISSIONS. ONE PROJECT AT A TIME.

Access that fits
the way you work together.

Gostrax separates client access from agency team access. Configure the client’s verified account in the project’s Clients workspace, then decide which tools belong in their space.

01 / ACCESS GROUP

Dashboard & collaboration

Client dashboard

Default: on

Controls access to the client space. Other client capabilities require dashboard access.

Site preview

Default: on

Lets the client view the website preview in their space.

Agency requests

Default: on

Lets the client send messages and requests to the agency in the project conversation.

02 / ACCESS GROUP

Statistics

View statistics

Default: on

Makes available project statistics visible to the client. It does not create traffic measurements where none exist.

Export statistics

Default: off

Controls statistics export separately from viewing statistics.

03 / ACCESS GROUP

Content & publication

Media uploads

Default: off

Allows supported client media uploads, subject to upload limits and storage configuration.

Article drafts

Default: off

Allows the client to prepare article drafts for review. Publishing an article also needs a configured template.

Approved page text

Default: off

Allows text drafts for the Astro pages selected by the agency. Enabling text access requires an approved-page selection.

Publish approved changes

Default: off

Allows publication of approved content when the project is configured for publishing. It does not allow the client to approve their own drafts.

CONTENT ACCESS IS NOT DESIGN ACCESS

Their content.
Your considered approval.

Prepare a draft

Clients with the appropriate permissions save text or article drafts. A draft is separate from the live website.

Review as the agency

Your agency approves submitted content or returns it with a review note. The client cannot approve their own content.

Publish when configured

An authorized publisher can queue approved changes after GitHub and Vercel are configured. Articles also require a template.

A SENSIBLE STARTING POINT

Start with a conversation.
Add access with purpose.

The default configuration enables the client dashboard, site preview, agency requests and viewing statistics. Media uploads, article drafts, text editing, statistics export and publication start disabled.

EXAMPLE / CONTENT COLLABORATION

A homepage copy update.

  1. Keep conversation and preview available.
  2. Enable approved page text and select the homepage.
  3. Let the client prepare and submit a draft.
  4. Review the content as the agency.
  5. Keep publication with the agency unless you deliberately grant it.

Illustrative configuration. Choose access for each client’s actual responsibilities.

THE DETAILS THAT MATTER

Clear permissions.
Clear expectations.

Do clients become members of my agency team?

No. Client access is configured separately for a project, using the client’s verified account. It does not grant agency team membership or access to the agency’s development tools.

Can a client change the layout or source code?

Client content permissions cover selected content actions. Design, layout and source editing remain in the agency workspace. Clients can ask the agency for design changes through their conversation.

Can a client edit every page?

No. The agency selects approved Astro pages when enabling text editing. The client prepares text drafts for those pages rather than receiving unrestricted source editing.

Can a client approve their own draft?

No. Draft review belongs to the agency. Publication permission applies to already approved changes and also requires the project’s publication setup.

Can I change or revoke access later?

Yes. Saving the same verified account updates its project permissions. The agency can also revoke that client’s project access.
