How to give editor access to Sanity CMS for portfolio changes?

3 repliesLast updated: Nov 29, 2025

I built a portfolio, it's up and running and I'm happy with it. Now, i want to be able to allow someone else access to the CMS to edit, change/upload images, etc. I've sent the invite, his role is "editor", he accepted, but we don't see how/where he can make edits/changes. help? I'm a newbie, so be gentle?

Good news - this is a common issue with a simple solution! Your editor has accepted the invite and has the right role, but they need to know where to go to access the Studio.

When you deployed your portfolio, you (or your hosting setup) created a Sanity Studio - that's the content management interface where editing happens. Your editor needs the Studio URL to make changes.

Find your Studio URL:

If you deployed using the sanity deploy command, your Studio is hosted at a URL like:

https://your-project-name.sanity.studio

You can find this URL by:

Alternative locations:

Share the Studio URL with your editor:

Once you find it, simply send them that URL. When they visit it and log in with their Sanity account (the one that accepted your invite), they'll see the Studio interface where they can:

Pro tip: The default "Editor" role should allow creating, editing, and publishing content, which sounds perfect for your use case!

If they still can't see content or make edits after logging in, you might need to check if there are any custom roles configured or ensure your Studio is pointing to the correct dataset.
