Access Control
Giverr gives you fine-grained control over who can access your wishlists and what actions they can take.
Access Levels
Section titled “Access Levels”Viewers
Section titled “Viewers”Most people who access your wishlists are viewers. They can:
- See all gifts on your wishlist
- Claim available gifts
- See other givers’ claims (for coordination)
- Track their claims in their shopping list
Viewers cannot:
- See who claimed gifts on their own wishlists
- Edit your wishlist or gifts
- Delete gifts
- Manage your share settings
Wishlist Owner
Section titled “Wishlist Owner”As the owner of a wishlist, you can:
- Add, edit, and remove gifts
- Share the wishlist with groups or via links
- View basic share link analytics
- Copy the wishlist for future occasions
- Archive or delete the wishlist
You cannot see claim information on your own wishlists — this protects the surprise.
Family Profile Manager
Section titled “Family Profile Manager”If you manage a Family Profile, you act as the owner for their wishlists:
- Create wishlists on their behalf
- Add and manage gifts
- Share with groups and via links
- See gift details but not claims
Controlling Gift Group Access
Section titled “Controlling Gift Group Access”Sharing with Specific Groups
Section titled “Sharing with Specific Groups”You control which groups see each wishlist:
- Open your wishlist
- Click Share → Share to Group
- Check/uncheck groups as needed
- Changes apply immediately
Removing Group Access
Section titled “Removing Group Access”To stop a group from seeing your wishlist:
- Open the wishlist
- Click Share → Share to Group
- Uncheck the group
- Existing claims remain, but members can no longer view the list
Controlling Share Link Access
Section titled “Controlling Share Link Access”Who Can Use a Share Link
Section titled “Who Can Use a Share Link”By default, anyone with the link URL can view your wishlist. You can limit this with:
- Expiration dates — Link stops working after a set time
- Revocation — Manually disable a link anytime
Revoking Access
Section titled “Revoking Access”When you revoke a share link:
- The link immediately stops working
- Anyone trying to use it sees “Access Denied”
- Existing claims from that link are preserved
- You can create a new link if needed
Event Access
Section titled “Event Access”Event wishlists have special access rules:
- Only visible while the event is Active
- Participants must join the event to see wishlists
- After the event ends, wishlists become hidden

Troubleshooting Access
Section titled “Troubleshooting Access””Access Denied” Message
Section titled “”Access Denied” Message”This appears when:
- A share link has expired or been revoked
- You’re not a member of the required group
- The event has ended
- The wishlist was deleted
Can’t See Claims on Your Wishlist
Section titled “Can’t See Claims on Your Wishlist”This is intentional! Giverr hides claim information from wishlist owners to preserve the surprise. Other givers can see claims for coordination.
Someone Can’t Access Your Wishlist
Section titled “Someone Can’t Access Your Wishlist”Check:
- Is the share link still active?
- Are they a member of the Gift Group?
- Is the event still active (for event wishlists)?
- Is the wishlist still shared with that group?
