Sharing your account with someone else

Sometimes another person needs to work on your account — a colleague who maintains your workflows, a partner who handles your billing, or someone helping you set a site up. You never need to give them your password. Account → Delegation lets you hand over exactly as much as you mean to, and take it back whenever you like.

There are two quite different things you can share, and it is worth knowing which you want.

Sharing a saved connector

Your Connectors page holds the credentials MFICore uses on your behalf — mail accounts, calendars, file transfer, your VPN, a brokerage, an API key. You can let someone use any of these without ever showing them the secret itself. They pick the connector from a list and MFICore does the rest; the password or key stays hidden.

For each kind of connector you choose up to three things:

• View — see that the connector exists and how it is configured.
• Manage — add, edit and remove connectors of that kind.
• Test — check that a connector still works.

You can also share View billing (see your invoices and balance) and Make purchases (spend from your account — credit packs, apps, Store items). Purchases always belong to you, whoever clicked.

If ticking twenty-odd boxes is more precision than you need, use a preset:

| Preset | What it gives | |---|---| | Viewer | Read-only across everything | | Manager | Use and edit all your saved accounts | | Full access | Everything, including acting as you |

Letting someone act as you

Full access includes one capability that is different in kind from the rest: Act as me.

Someone with it can switch into your account and work as though they were you — your sites, pages, workflows, mailbox, Store and billing, exactly as you see them. This is genuinely powerful, so think of it the way you would think of handing someone your keys rather than lending them a tool.

What it does not include:

• Your password or your two-factor settings — they cannot change either, so they can never lock you out.
• Your delegation settings — they cannot give themselves more, extend it to anyone else, or stop you revoking it.
• Your administrator role, if you have one. Acting as you does not make anyone an administrator.
• Your password vault. Its contents are encrypted with a key only you hold, so it stays unreadable.

It can only be given to one named person, never to a team — a team's membership can change without you, and a record saying "someone on this team did it" tells you nothing useful.

What you'll see

The first time someone acts as your account on a given day, you get a message (and a notification on your devices) telling you so. You will not be pestered every time they switch back and forth.

Your Delegation page lists every session — who, when, and whether it is still running — and lets you end a live one immediately.

For the person acting

Click your own name in the sidebar, where it says Signed in as, and pick the account from the list. The dashboard reloads as that person, an amber bar appears across the top, and the whole window picks up an amber edge so it is obvious at a glance — including in a screenshot or on a second monitor.

Click Stop in that bar, or Back to my account in the switcher, to return. You will not need to sign in again.

Everything done during a session is recorded as that account's own activity, with the session itself recording who was really at the keyboard.

Taking access back

Open Account → Delegation, find the person, and either untick what you no longer want to share or click Revoke to remove everything. It takes effect straight away — any session they have open stops working within a few minutes, and they cannot start a new one.

From an AI assistant

If you connect an AI client (see AI access), it can work on a delegated account too — you say "acting as ..." and it uses the permission that account gave you. The same rules apply: the permission is checked on every request, so revoking it stops the assistant as well.
