  • Use this option to disconnect your WordPress site from the Atarim dashboard.
  • Disabling the connection will stop all collaboration features on this site and remove it’s connection from your Atarim workspace.
• Guest mode
  • Enable Guest Mode to allow non-logged-in users to leave feedback on your site — no WordPress account required.
  • Copy and share the collaboration link, or add ?collab=true to any URL (e.g. yourdomain.com/page?collab=true) to activate guest access.
• Who can collaborate
  • Choose which WordPress user roles are allowed to use Atarim’s collaboration features by default.
  • Only users with the selected roles (e.g., Admin, Editor) will see the visual feedback interface when logged in.
  • 🎯 Use this to control access for internal team members and prevent confusion for roles that shouldn’t see collaboration tools.
• 1 click login from Atarim as
  • Select a WordPress user account to enable AutoLogin from your Atarim dashboard.
  • When you click the “Collaborate” button inside Atarim, this user will be logged in automatically — no login required.
  • 🔐 Choose a user with sufficient permissions (typically an admin or editor) who has permission to collaborate.

How WordPress Users Can Start Collaborating

If a WordPress user has one of the allowed roles (as defined in the plugin settings), they’ll see a collaboration launcher in the WordPress sidebar.

Instructions:

• The user clicks the Atarim launcher from the sidebar.
• A consent modal will appear.
• The user must click “Connect your WordPress account” to proceed.
• Once consent is given, they are connected to the project and can start collaborating immediately.
• That user is now added as a collaborator in the project

⚠️ Important Notes:

• Every WordPress user who gives consent is added as a collaborator by default.
• If you want a user to be added as a team member (with dashboard access, project visibility, and role permissions), they must first be invited to your Atarim account.
• To simplify access and avoid permission issues, use the same email address for the user in both WordPress and Atarim.

✅ Best Practice: Create matching user accounts (same email) in WordPress and Atarim. This ensures that once the user gives consent, they’re recognized as a team member — no extra steps needed.
