Start in the app: https://app.commentwatchdog.com/en/settings/users
Result when done: A freelancer or an agency sees only the pages you hired them for.
Context: Page access decides what a manager or a moderator can see. Leave it empty and they see every page, including ones you add later; tick specific pages and they see only those. Page-level access is included from Growth.

Before you start:
1. Page access applies to managers and moderators.
2. Owners and administrators see every page by design.
3. Leaving everything unticked means access to all pages, now and in future.

Steps:
Step 1 of 3: Open the person.
Where: Settings, Users, then Edit next to their name.
Link: https://app.commentwatchdog.com/en/settings/users (Open Users)

Screenshot: https://commentwatchdog.com/media/shots/users-phone.en.webp (The same on a phone.)
You should see: Their role, and the list of pages with tick boxes.

Step 2 of 3: Choose the pages.
Where: Page access: leave all unchecked for every page, or tick the ones they should have. The hint under it says the same.

You should see: Their row shows All pages, or the pages you picked.

Step 3 of 3: Check what they will see.
Where: Their inbox, their Insights and their page list all narrow to those pages. A link to a page they cannot see returns nothing for them.
Link: https://app.commentwatchdog.com/en/inbox (Open the inbox)
Screenshot: https://commentwatchdog.com/media/shots/inbox.en.webp (What they see: only their pages.)

You should see: A workspace that contains only what concerns them.

If something is off:
Problem: They see a page I did not give them
Fix: They are an owner or an administrator. Change the role, or accept that the role sees everything.
Problem: They see nothing at all
Fix: No pages are ticked and the role is manager or moderator. Tick at least one, or untick all for full access.
Problem: A new page did not reach them
Fix: They have specific pages. Add the new one to their list.

Common questions:
Question: Which plans can limit a teammate to specific pages?
Answer: Growth, Pro and Elite. Below Growth every teammate sees all pages; a scope set in the trial is kept and applies again on upgrade.
Question: Can I restrict an administrator to certain pages?
Answer: No. Page access applies to managers and moderators; owners and administrators see every page by design. Give the person the Manager role if they should see only some pages.
Question: Will a teammate with all pages see pages I connect later?
Answer: Yes. Leaving every page unticked under Page access means access to all pages, now and in future. Someone with specific pages ticked sees a new page only once you add it to their list.
Question: Does page access also limit what a teammate sees in Insights?
Answer: Yes. Their inbox, their Insights and their page list all narrow to the pages they were given, and a link to a page they cannot see returns nothing for them.
