How Shared Access Works in DeniedPixels

DeniedPixels shared access settings showing email invite for remote settings management

DeniedPixels includes a shared access feature that lets you invite another person to manage your extension settings remotely. You send an invite by email, they accept, and from that point they can adjust your censoring configuration from their end.

How to set it up

From your extension settings, enter the email address or website username of the person you want to invite (they need to signup on website first, it’s free). They’ll receive an invite on my account dashboard and once they accept, they get remote access to your settings panel. That’s it — no complicated setup, no account sharing, no exchanging passwords.

What the remote manager can do

The person you invite can adjust your extension settings remotely — detection zones, censoring styles, sensitivity, site blocking, and other configuration options. They can also lock settings so they can’t be changed from your end. When a setting is locked, you’ll see it in your panel but won’t be able to modify it until the lock is removed.

This is useful for accountability setups where you want someone else to define and maintain your filtering configuration, or for situations where one person manages settings across multiple users (like a household or shared environment).

You’re always in control

Even when settings are locked by a remote manager, you can revoke shared access at any time. Revocation is immediate. Their access is removed and any locks they’ve applied are lifted the moment you confirm it, with no waiting period and no approval needed from the other person.

This works the same way wherever you manage DeniedPixels. Revoke from the browser extension, the iOS app, or your account on the website, and access ends at that point.
