Before you share a login, map what it exposes
A personal profile contains more than a name and a photo.
Look beyond the public profile
Personal accounts can contain private conversations, contact relationships, and information collected over time. Providing access is not simply providing a channel for new messages. Consider whose information could be exposed and what authority exists to use it.
Map control and recovery
Ask who controls the recovery email, phone number, and sign-in protections. A password handed over today does not establish durable control. Do not mistake a vendor replacement promise for a platform-backed right to use the profile.
Identify the consequences
If access is interrupted, an outreach team may lose conversation context and continuity. The account holder can also face consequences for activity associated with their identity. An operating plan should address responsibility and escalation before any campaign starts.
Keep collaboration outside the credentials
Campaign briefs, approved copy, reporting, and handoff procedures let people collaborate without sharing personal account access. Use appropriate access controls for those materials and limit prospect information to what the work actually requires.
Make the decision explicit
Record who performs outreach, who is represented, who can see replies, and how a campaign ends. If these responsibilities remain unclear, resolve them before starting. The objective is a workable, accountable service—not just a successful sign-in.
