What Is a Client Portal
WordPress Plugin?
A client portal WordPress plugin helps you create a private area where clients can log in and access documents, files and resources related to their relationship with your business.

WHY USER PRIVATE FILES
What Can You Put Inside a
WordPress Client Portal?
A client portal can contain contracts, reports, statements, invoices, forms, project documents, training materials, property records and other client-specific resources.
You can also use the portal for two-way document exchange. Clients can upload documents into shared folders, while your team can upload files back to the client. Comments and notifications can help keep important file-related conversations and updates in one place.
Because User Private Files supports sharing with individual users and roles, you can create different client experiences without exposing every file to every customer.
Built for WordPress
Works directly within your existing WordPress website.
Private by Design
Files can be assigned to specific users instead of being publicly accessible.
Easy for Users
Give customers and clients a simple, familiar way to access their files.
Flexible for Businesses
Use it for client portals, document delivery, internal file sharing and more.
