Solutions · Access for contractors and clients

A password for someone outside.
On your terms.

Your accountant, a repair technician, a client, a freelancer - everyone needs access now and then. Share it with a link that expires on its own, or give a contractor access to a single folder. No passwords in emails, no access that lasts forever.

01 / The challenge

Sent once,
available forever.

A password sent by email or text stays in the recipient's inbox for years. A contractor who finished the project can often still sign in - because nobody remembered to take access away.

  • Passwords in emails and texts.

    A message with a password lands in an inbox, a backup, and on several devices. You can't take it back.

  • Access with no end date.

    A freelancer got a password for a week of work. A year later, it still works, because nobody changed it.

  • No idea what left the company.

    Nobody keeps track of who got access and when. When an incident happens, it's hard to know where to start.

02 / How Inlockly helps

Two ways to collaborate.
Full control in both.

Item link

For a while - for anyone, even without an account.

Pick an item and set the expiration and recipients. A link can last from one hour to 30 days, or expire after it's first opened. If it's limited to an email address, it requires a code sent to that inbox.

  • Recipients open the link in a browser, without installing Inlockly.
  • You see active links next to each item and revoke them with one click.
  • The key to the content is in the address after the

Contractor on the team

For the length of a project - access to one folder.

Add a contractor as a member with access to just the project folder. They sign in with autofill without learning the passwords, and you remove them when the project ends.

  • 13 permissions per folder - including sign-in without seeing the password.
  • A freelancer's single account can belong to many companies.
  • Once removed, their devices delete company data.

Control and audit trail

Know what left the company.

Creating and revoking a link to a company item is logged. Expired links stay in the history for 30 days, and every change to an item has an author and a date.

  • A log you can filter by person and event category.
  • Grant the sharing permission only to the people you choose.
  • Without permission to view a password, you can't share it in a link.

03 / A real-world scenario

Working with outsiders
without passwords in inboxes.

Sample scenario

Tom Kelly

Design studio owner

Architecture firm · Denver, CO

  • 9 people
  • 6 regular contractors
  • a dozen-plus clients a year
The challenge

Outside structural engineers and 3D artists got passwords to the file server and software licenses by email. Nobody changed them after the project ended.

Before

  • Passwords sent by email and text.
  • Contractors with access that never ended.
  • Wi-Fi and alarm codes given to technicians over the phone.
  • No list of who had been given what access.

With Inlockly

  • Links with an expiration date, only for a specific address.
  • Contractors with access to a single project folder.
  • Technicians get a one-time link that expires once opened.
  • A sharing log and a history of expired links.

The person and company are fictional. The scenario shows a typical rollout and Inlockly features that are available today.

04 / Rollout

New rules for collaboration in three steps.

  1. Gather shared logins.

    Move the passwords you share with outsiders into the company vault: Wi-Fi, licenses, dashboards, client accounts.

  2. Decide who can share.

    Grant the sharing permission only to people who work with outside partners.

  3. Choose the method.

    One-time or short-term - a link. For the length of a project - a member with access to one folder.

05 / Good to know

Have questions?
Start here.

Does the link recipient need an Inlockly account?

No. The link opens in a browser. If you limit it to email addresses, the recipient confirms with a code sent to their inbox.

How long can a link stay active?

An hour, a day, or 7, 14, or 30 days - or until it's first opened. You can also revoke it earlier. Once it expires, the content can no longer be opened.

Does a contractor need a paid seat?

If they're a company member with folder access - yes, they take up a seat on your plan. For a one-time handoff of a password, a link is enough, and it doesn't require an account.

Can I share something without revealing the password?

With a company member - yes: turn off password viewing in the folder, and they sign in with autofill. A link always shows the recipient the item's contents, so use it for data they're meant to see.
