# How To Give a Client Read-only Security Access With BetterShield Ultra?

Let named clients read Overview, Findings and past security reports while preserving their WordPress roles.

With **[BetterShield Ultra](/ultra/)**, let named clients read Overview, Findings and past security reports while preserving their WordPress roles.

_**Note:** These controls require the paid [BetterShield Ultra](/ultra/) add-on alongside the free BetterShield plugin._

## What it does

Open **BetterShield › Ultra › Client report**. **Read-only access for clients** adds access to the site’s Overview, Findings and past reports without granting security-management actions or changing the WordPress role. Up to 20 accounts can be selected.

## Step 1: Open Read-only access for clients

Under **Read-only access for clients**, choose the client’s **Account**.

## Step 2: Give a client read-only security access

- Select **Give Read-Only Access**.
- Ask the client to sign in with that account and open the available security screens.
- Use **Remove** beside an account to end this access.

## Recommended settings

Our advice: give access to a named client account and review what the findings and reports disclose before sharing it.

## What it can break and how to undo

This shares security information with the chosen account. Removing read-only access ends this extra visibility; it does not remove unrelated rights already provided by that account’s role.

## Final Outcome

Test using the client account. It should read the intended screens and reports and have no security-change controls from this grant.
