How to give editor access to Sanity CMS for portfolio changes?
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:
- Running
sanity managein your project folder (opens your project settings in browser) - Looking in your project's API settings in the Sanity management console
- Checking the output from when you first ran
sanity deploy
Alternative locations:
- If you're self-hosting or using Vercel/Netlify, your Studio might be at a custom URL like
yoursite.com/studioor a separate domain - If you embedded the Studio in your Next.js app (or similar framework), it's typically at a
/studioroute
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:
- Edit content
- Upload and manage images
- Create new posts/pages
- Make any changes you've configured in your schema
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.
