Examples Who has access to our website?

01 The situation

Who has access to our website?

Your website has admins nobody remembers adding, a hosting account tied to someone who left, and a CMS login that may or may not still work.

Most of this isn't broken, it's just unowned. The site loads, the CMS logs in, and everyone's still a little afraid to touch it because nobody's sure what depends on what.

Once ownership and access are sorted out and written down, ordinary maintenance goes back to being ordinary. Content updates, small fixes and plugin updates become a quick As Needed request rather than an event.

02 How you know
03 How it gets handled
  1. Inventory what exists: hosting account, CMS admin, domain-level access and who or what currently holds each
  2. Get someone in your organization set up as the real, current owner of every account
  3. Remove logins that shouldn't still exist and reset the ones that should
  4. Verify the recovered access before making changes that matter
  5. Leave a written record of what exists and who holds it
