Can You Share a SoundCloud Account With a Manager or Label? The Official Options

Can you share a SoundCloud account with a manager or label? #

You can, but SoundCloud's Help Center advises against it, even with people you trust. According to its page on sharing access (read 3 October 2026), shared access leaves you at risk of changes being made, or of the account being deleted, without your consent. The same page says the owner of the email address used at sign-up is considered the account owner, and that if you share anyway you should use an email address everyone can reach.

The team route the Help Center describes is narrower: SoundCloud for Artists lets an Artist Pro subscriber add a third-party collaborator in the Access tab of Settings. The pages read describe no business manager, no role levels and no label account with several artists inside.

Who counts as the owner of a SoundCloud account? #

The Help Center is consistent on this: the only means SoundCloud has of verifying ownership is the email address used to create the account. The Email requirements page adds that this address indicates ownership for as long as the account exists.

The practical consequence, drawn from those pages: if an account will belong to an artist or a client, create it with an email address the owner controls, and give other people access through the dashboard rather than through the password.

How do you add a manager or collaborator in SoundCloud for Artists? #

According to the Help Center page on managing a SoundCloud for Artists account (updated 29 September 2026):

1. Check that you and the collaborator are both subscribed to Artist Pro; the page says both must be to grant access.
2. In the SoundCloud for Artists dashboard, click your name in the top right corner, then Settings.
3. Open the Access tab.
4. Add the collaborator by entering their SoundCloud channel information. It must be the channel they use to log in to their own SoundCloud for Artists account.

Know the limits. Only one SoundCloud account can be associated with a dashboard. Changing the connected account means SoundCloud has to cancel and refund your existing SoundCloud for Artists account, and the new one carries no data from the old one. Deleting the SoundCloud account disables the dashboard. Email and password changes are made in the settings of the connected SoundCloud profile. The page describes adding a collaborator but not removing one or setting role levels, so check the Access tab itself.

How do labels and distributors fit in? #

For tracks delivered that way, the Help Center says creators cannot edit or delete them from their account settings. If an account made by a label has no image of you, has the word official or music in its URL and holds your tracks, it says to contact the label, distributor or rightsholder directly about removing or managing it.

How do you keep a shared setup in order? #

Because 2FA codes live in one person's authenticator app, store the backup codes where the owner can reach them. When someone leaves:

1. If they were a dashboard collaborator, check the Access tab, since the page describes adding but not removing.
2. If they knew the password, reset it, then Revoke all and Revoke all and sign out, remove email addresses you do not recognise or no longer use, and review the connected applications.
3. If they control the sign-up email, ownership follows that email, so use the conflict-of-ownership route rather than another login.

What if access goes wrong? #

• Locked out of a shared account. The Help Center sorts it by relationship: the account was set up for you by someone else, or you shared it and were removed. Both lead back to the ownership rules above.
• Hacked. Set a strong password, revoke connections, add a secondary email and remove unknown addresses. If you cannot get in, the Trust and Safety team can be reached through the chatbot.
• Deleted by someone else. Contact Support through the chatbot; once restored, repeat the four security steps.
• Sign-up email lost. The Help Center says it will do its best, but if it cannot verify ownership it cannot grant access.

For the rules that apply to shared logins, see the rules guide. Sign-in alerts and 2FA prompts are covered in the sign-out guide.

Where ADSSPEED fits #

ADSSPEED is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that manages many browser profiles. Each profile keeps its own cookies, local data and browser settings, so accounts you manage can stay signed in side by side without signing each other out. Profiles can be opened, stopped and organised in bulk, and profile data is kept on your own computer. It does not change who owns a SoundCloud account or how access is granted. Setup is in installing ADSSPEED on Windows. ADSSPEED is not affiliated with SoundCloud.
