Before diving into the technical steps, let’s understand why adding users to your DistroKid artist account can be beneficial:

• Ease of Management: Different team members can handle specific tasks, making it easier to manage your music distribution without overwhelming one person.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Users

Here’s a detailed guide on how to add users to your DistroKid artist account:

Step 1: Log into Your DistroKid Account

First, you need to log into your DistroKid account. Ensure that you have administrative rights, as only admins can add new users.

Step 2: Go to Your Settings

After logging in, navigate to your account settings. You can usually find this option in the top-right corner of your dashboard.

On the user management page, there should be an option to add a new user. Click on this option and enter the required information, such as the email address of the new user and their role.

Step 5: Set Permissions

After adding the new user, you will need to set their permissions. Decide what level of access they should have—whether it’s full access, limited access, or access to specific sections of the account.

Step 6: Confirm and Save

Finally, review the user details and permissions. If everything looks good, confirm and save the changes. The new user will receive an email invitation to join your DistroKid artist account.
