Adding users on Cloudflare is a simple task and can be done from any device that has an internet connection. When you add a user, they will have access to Cloudflare security services. However, only super administrators have the right to add users to an account.
In this article, we will show you how to add users in Cloudflare.
How to add a user to a Cloudflare account using a PC
For this method, you will use your browser to add a user. To do so, follow these steps:
- In the Dashboard, find and select the “Members” tab at the top of the page.
- In the text box that says “Invite Members,” type the email addresses of anyone you want to invite to your Cloudflare account. Be sure to put a comma between each email address.
- Select “Invite.”
- To accept an invitation, you will need to access your Cloudflare email.
- Click the link, then sign in with your Cloudflare details and then select “Join”. You are now a successful part of the Cloudflare account.
How to add a user to a Cloudflare account using an iPhone
Using Cloudflare on an iPhone requires a little more work than on a PC. First, you’ll need to connect to Cloudflare servers with your device and configure your DNS settings. To do so, follow these steps:
- Go to the “Settings” menu by tapping the icon.
- Tap “Wi-Fi,” and then tap the small “i” icon to the right of your router’s name.
- In this menu, find the “Configure DNS” tab and tap on it. Then switch from “Automatic” to “Manual.”
- Under “DNS Servers”, tap the “Add Server” option with the green “+” symbol.
- Enter the following IP address: 1.1.1.1
- After entering the IP address, tap “Add Server” again and enter the following: 1.0.0.1
- In the upper right corner, tap the “Save” option.
- Exit the settings menu. Your device should be connected to Cloudflare now. If not, you may need to clear your DNS cache for it to work properly.
Doing this offers a little more privacy protection, which you’ll want when signing in to your Cloudflare account. To add users to your Cloudflare account, follow these steps:
- In the Dashboard, find and select the “Members” tab at the top of the page.
- In the text box that says “Invite Members,” type the email addresses of anyone you want to invite to your Cloudflare account. Be sure to put a comma between each email address.
- Select “Invite.”
- To accept an invitation, you’ll need to go to your email and open the email from Cloudflare.
- Click the link, then sign in with your Cloudflare details and then select “Join”. You are now a successful part of the Cloudflare account.
How to add a user to a Cloudflare account using an Android device
Android users can also take advantage of Cloudflare’s DNS settings for better privacy while on a mobile network or public Wi-Fi. To configure DNS settings on your Android device, do the following:
- Swipe down from the top menu, then select “Wi-Fi.”
- In the “Wi-Fi” menu, scroll to the bottom of the router list and select “More settings.”
- Find the network you are using and press and hold the icon until the “Modify network” option appears on the screen.
- On the next page, select “Advanced Options” and then “IP Settings.”
- Select the “Static” option.
- Scroll down until you see “DNS 1” and “DNS 2.”
- You will need to change the digits. Before doing so, write down the numbers that are there in case you want to return to these servers.
- In “DNS 1”, enter 1.1.1.1. In “DNS 2”, enter 1.0.0.1
- Tap “Save.” You are now connected to Cloudflare servers.
To add users to your Cloudflare account on Android, follow these steps:
- In the Dashboard, find and select the “Members” tab at the top of the page.
- In the text box that says “Invite Members,” type the email addresses of anyone you want to invite to your Cloudflare account. Be sure to put a comma between each email address.
- Select “Invite.”
- To accept an invitation, you’ll need to go to your email and open the email from Cloudflare.
- Click the link, then sign in with your Cloudflare details and then select “Join”. You are now a successful part of the Cloudflare account.
How to delete users from Cloudflare
Like adding users, only the super administrator can delete users. Here’s how to remove users from your Cloudflare account:
- Select the “Members” tab at the top of the page.
- Find the username of the user you want to delete.
- Click the username. On the right, there will be a red icon that says “Revoke.” Click on it.
- You will receive a final confirmation message. Select “Yes, revoke access.”
- Go back to the “Members” tab. The user should not appear in the username list. You have successfully removed a user from your Cloudflare account.
All your Cloudflares are covered
Cloudflare is a great tool for adding a layer of privacy to your networks. It is also easy to attract more users to your servers. You can access the Cloudflare dashboard from anywhere through any browser by following the methods described above. Always remember that any changes to the account must be made by the super administrator. All other account types cannot add or delete users.
