It's one thing to know how to add a user to Cloudflare, but that is worthless if you don't know when you should do it. Let's break down the relevance of this question based on two high level categories. We'll walk through an explanation as well as provide a score, 1-10, that shows you how relevant this question is whether you do or don’t have a product.
The first scenario we will walk through will be if you do not have a product yet. Whether it is a website or a mobile app, you are still in the ideation or planning phase and have not yet built anything. Maybe you have started development but just aren’t finished with your first version. Whichever it is, we'll get into why this question is or isn’t relevant and why you should or shouldn't care about it if you do not have a product.
If you don't have a product yet, then you don't really need to know about this process. You may want to familiarize yourself with what Cloudflare is, but since you don't have any website, you won't need to create an account nor invite team members.
The second category is if you do have a live product. Maybe you just launched your business or maybe it's been live for years and you're continuing to improve its quality and release new features. Regardless of the scenario, if your product is live, this question carries a different weight of relevance.
If you do have a product, you should heavily consider brushing up on what Cloudflare is and how it could support you. It is important to keep your website up and available, as well as fast and reliable. When adding developers to help set this up, you want to be sure you retain control, so be sure to add your developers with specific settings to ensure they can only do what you need them to.
Lucky for you, all you need is a Cloudflare account and you're good to go!
