A couple of times already, we’ve seen users give their web host access to their Scout account.

It’s a big help when debugging problems – especially things that a basic monitoring tool might not pick up (like slow web requests).

Click the ‘People’ link in the header:
people link

Select the ‘Invite a New Person’ tab:
invite select

Enter their email address and select the clients they need access to:
invite form

Your web host’s support team will now have read-only access to the clients you specified.
