Share profiles

Sharing lets an owner hand specific profiles to individual team members. Members never create profiles of their own — they work only with the profiles you share, and everyone on the team sees the same up-to-date state for each profile.

Before you start

Sharing is part of Team mode, which is available on the Agency plan. To share profiles you need to be the team owner, and you need at least one member added to your team. See Team mode overview for how to add members.

Note

Team management happens in your account on the web, not in the desktop app. Open your account at santiago-browser.com, then go to Account → Team.

Share a profile with a member

You choose which profiles each member can see. Sharing is per profile and per member, so you can give different members different sets of profiles.

1. Sign in at santiago-browser.com as the team owner.
2. Go to Account → Team.
3. Find the member you want to give access to.
4. Use the sharing checkboxes to tick each profile you want that member to have.
5. Your selection is saved for that member. The next time they open the desktop app, the shared profiles appear in their list.

To stop sharing a single profile, clear its checkbox for that member. Their access to that one profile is removed, while everything else they have stays in place.

What a member can do with a shared profile

Once a profile is shared, the member has full access to it from the desktop app — the same actions you have, except creating new profiles.

Action	Owner	Member (shared profile)
See the profile in their list	Yes	Yes
Launch the profile	Yes	Yes
Edit the profile (fingerprint, proxy, tags)	Yes	Yes
Delete the profile	Yes	Yes
Export / import cookies	Yes	Yes
Create a brand-new profile	Yes	No

Delete is shared too

A member can delete a profile you shared with them, and that delete affects the whole team — the profile is gone for everyone. Only share profiles with people you trust to manage them.

Members cannot create their own profiles. If a member needs a new profile, the owner creates it first and then shares it.

One shared state per profile

A profile has a single state that is shared across the whole team. The browser state — cookies and open tabs — belongs to the profile, not to the person who launched it.

• When anyone on the team launches a profile, they get the latest saved state (logged-in sessions, cookies, tabs).
• When they stop the profile, the updated state is saved back for everyone.
• The next person to launch the profile picks up exactly where the last person left off.

Because the state is shared, a profile can only run in one place at a time. While someone has it open, the profile shows as locked for everyone else, so two people can’t overwrite each other’s session. Wait for it to be released, then launch it yourself. For more on how sessions and locking work, see Session sync.

Tip

Treat a shared profile like a shared document: only one person should be working in it at a time. Stop the profile when you’re done so a teammate can pick it up with the freshest cookies and tabs.

Removing a member revokes their shares

When the owner removes a member from the team, that member loses access to every profile that was shared with them — all of those shares are removed automatically. The profiles themselves are not deleted; they stay with the owner. The removed member simply no longer sees or can use them.

If you remove a member by mistake, add them back and re-share the profiles they need.

Concurrent sessions are shared

All team members draw from the owner’s plan limit. On Agency that’s up to 300 profiles total and a shared cap on how many can run at once. If teammates are running many profiles simultaneously and someone hits the limit, ask others to stop a profile or two to free up a slot. See Plans for the numbers.
