Are you in an industry where there may be a demand for group access to your membership?

Whether it's partners in the same business, employees in a single company, or even just an entrepreneur wanting their assistant, web designer or some other member of their team to access your site – it's not uncommon to receive requests to provide shared access.

In this episode I discuss the 3 ways you can facilitate this in your membership site.

Episode Summary:

• Situations where members might need shared access to your membership
• Why it's not a great idea to just let multiple people use a single account
• How to encourage multiple people in a company to sign up for separate subscriptions
• Plugins which have corporate/group membership features for this specific purpose

Key Quotes:

“Quite a few membership plug-ins have controls in place that will restrict logins from multiple IPs or they'll restrict multiple, simultaneous logins. So that means if two people are logging in from different computers or different devices at the same time, that will flag a little alarm bell, and they will lock them out of that member account”

“It's a little too much hassle to be able to have everybody sign up for separate accounts, especially if there's quite a few people in their company that want to be able to access the membership”

WordPress Plugins with Group Membership Features:

• MemberPress (requires the Corporate Accounts add-on)
• Restrict Content Pro (requires ‘Pro' license with the Group Accounts add-on)
• Memberium (requires ‘Pro' or ‘Advanced' license)
• MemberMouse (via a 3rd party unofficial add-on)
• Paid Memberships Pro (requires ‘PMPro Plus' license with Group Membership add-on)
