Sharing accounts with teammates can sometimes be tricky—there’s always the risk of someone seeing info they shouldn’t or accidentally changing settings. One way to handle this is using tools that hide specific web elements, like menus, buttons, or account details, while keeping the page working normally. This makes account sharing safer and helps teams focus on what matters without worrying about privacy leaks. Curious—how do others deal with sensitive parts of web pages when multiple people use the same account? Any strategies or tools that work well in practice?
Why do you have multiple people sharing an account? On most sites (like this one) it will breach the TOS. It's unethical and hugely problematic.
Sharing accounts among multiple users is useful when a team needs to collaborate on a single platform, such as managing social media profiles, marketing campaigns, e-commerce stores, or SaaS tools. Instead of creating duplicate accounts, team members can access the same account, saving costs and simplifying management. Key benefits include: Efficient collaboration: Everyone can work together seamlessly, assign tasks, and manage campaigns from one account. Cost savings: One shared account avoids paying for multiple subscriptions or licenses. Consistent activity: Maintaining a single active account ensures continuity and prevents missed opportunities. Controlled access: Permissions can be set so sensitive actions are restricted while still allowing collaboration. Common platforms where account sharing is useful: Social Media Management: Facebook Business Manager, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter. E-commerce Platforms: eBay, Amazon Seller Central, Shopify, Etsy. SaaS Tools: CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot), project management (Asana, Trello), email marketing (Mailchimp, Klaviyo). Streaming and Content Services: YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, Canva. These platforms benefit from shared access because multiple users can collaborate efficiently while keeping costs and account management streamlined.
Create a dedicated demo/test account with no real data, or use role-based access - view-only accounts. This is by far the safest.
