You can connect the same WordPress.com account to many different Jetpack sites. Once you’ve done so, when you’re logged in with that account, you’ll receive notifications from all the sites connected to that account.
In general, when dealing with client sites, I’d recommend the following:
- Have 2 local accounts on the site: one for you for site maintenance, and one for your client.
- When connecting Jetpack to WordPress.com on that site for the first time, create a new WordPress.com account on behalf of your client; you can use an alias of one of your email addresses as the account email address, for example
[email protected]. Connect the local account you created for that Jetpack site to that new WordPress.com account you just created.
- Once you’ve done so, log out of the WordPress.com account, log out of the client’s local account.
- Log back in with your own local account, and with your own WordPress.com account.
- Link your own account to your own WordPress.com account.
- When you’re all done with the work for your client, go back to the WordPress.com account settings for the account you created for your client, and change the email address to theirs.
If you follow these steps, your client will have their own personal and fully working WordPress.com account they can use in the mobile WordPress apps, in the WordPress.com desktop apps, on WordPress.com, and for billing if they need to purchase or renew a Jetpack Plan.
On your end, you’ll still have full access to their site, and will be able to see all your clients’ Jetpack sites via the central interface on WordPress.com and in the desktop WordPress.com apps. This will allow you to easily monitor all those sites for updates.
I hope this helps!
