Sendwin Tutorial – How to Share Sessions to Team!

Sharing account passwords is risky and hard to manage. Sendwin lets you share browser sessions with teammates so they can work as if they’re logged in—without ever seeing the password. Below is a simple, reliable flow to invite a team member, grant time-boxed access, and verify everything works end-to-end.

What You’ll Need

• A Sendwin account (Owner/Manager role recommended)
• The teammate’s email address
• (Optional) A separate VPS or browser profile to test the teammate’s view

Step-by-Step: Share a Sendwin Session (No Passwords Needed)

1) Log in and choose where you’ll run the session

1. Log in to your Sendwin account.
2. Go to Browse and pick your preferred server/instance. Tip: Switching servers is optional—useful if you want to test in a clean environment.

2) Invite your teammate to the workspace

1. Open the Team section (you may see it near your org name).
2. Click the arrow ▶︎ next to the team/org and choose Add member.
3. Paste the teammate’s email and click Invite.
4. You should see “Invite sent.”

3) Have your teammate accept the invite

1. On the teammate’s side (you can simulate this on a different VPS):
   • Open the invite email and follow the link to Verify & Log In.
   • If prompted, confirm the email using the verification code (copy/paste from the new email).
2. The teammate can now log in to their member account—no password to your sites is shared.

4) Share a specific session with time-boxed access

1. Back in your main account, open your Sessions list.
2. Find the session you want to share and click Share.
3. Select the teammate you just invited.
4. Set an access duration (e.g., 10 minutes).
5. Click Share → you should see “Session is shared successfully.”

5) Teammate opens the shared session

1. The teammate logs in and refreshes their Sessions page.
2. Open Shared with me → the shared session should be visible.
3. Click the session and then Browse.
4. If prompted, allow Sendwin to copy necessary details to the environment.
5. The session opens—teammate has access, but never sees the password.

6) Verify & manage access

• From your main account, you can review who has access under the session’s Share options.
• Access auto-expires after the duration you set.
• Need to end it early? Unshare the session to instantly revoke access.

Best Practices for Secure Collaboration

• Use short time windows (e.g., 10–30 minutes) and re-authorize only when needed.
• Share the minimum necessary: only the exact session required for the task.
• Keep invites tight: remove users who no longer need access.
• Use separate servers/profiles for testing to avoid cross-contamination of cookies or extensions.
• Document your workflow so the team follows a consistent access pattern.

Troubleshooting

• Invite not received? Check spam, confirm the email is correct, and re-send the invite.
• “Shared with me” is empty? Ensure you shared the right session to the right email and the teammate refreshed after logging in.
• Session won’t open on teammate’s side? Have them click Browse again and approve any prompts to copy session details.

FAQ

Does my teammate ever see the site’s password?

No. They interact with the authenticated session, not the credentials.

Can I limit how long they have access?

Yes—set a time limit (e.g., 10 minutes). Access auto-expires.

Can I revoke access immediately?

Yes—unshare the session at any time to end access.

Can I test this safely?

Yes—use a separate VPS or clean browser profile to simulate the teammate experience.
