Accessing Child Sites

Each Child Site is a full-featured site, with its own users, files, permissions, and custom subdomain and custom domain settings.

Parent Site Administrator Access

Site administrators on your parent site are able to connect to each child site by logging into the parent site web interface. A menu appears next to the logo of the parent site to provide access to child sites for parent site administrators.

Once a parent site administrator connects to a child site, they have full administrator access to the child site, including its full contents and all of its settings.

Activities performed by a parent site administrator who has connected to a child site through the connection menu will appear in the child site's logs.

Browsing Child Site Contents

Parent site administrators have access to the contents of every child site through the _ system folder of the primary site. Each child site appears as a subfolder under the _/Sites folder in the parent site, and parent site administrators can make any changes to the contents of each child site's sub-folder.

The _/Sites system folder is available to a parent site administrator through any official Files.com SDK, but does not support protocol access, such as FTP or SFTP.

When a parent site administrator changes the contents of a child site through by browsing the child site's contents in the parent site, those changes appear in the parent site's logs.

Child Site User Access

Users associated with the Child Site can log in to the site through its address with any of the protocols that are enabled for them. They can connect with the site's custom subdomain or custom domain, if one exists.

Users created within a Child Site, including its site administrators, have no access to the parent site.
