Wave account owners can invite trusted individuals to collaborate on their account as a Viewer, Editor, Payroll Manager, or Admin. Learn how to invite a user in How to invite or remove trusted individuals as Users on your account.
For the security and protection of business owners' sensitive data, there are a few pages in Wave that cannot be viewed by guest users.
