# Keyholder Guide

> Learn how to control your partner's Lockbox as a keyholder after they've paired their device

Once your partner has paired their Lockbox to their account, they can grant you control over their device. Follow these steps to become their keyholder.

## Connect to your partner's account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your keyholder account">
    Sign up for your own account and log in. You need a separate account from your partner to act as their keyholder.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send a partner invitation">
    1. Navigate to **Settings** > **Partners** from your dashboard menu
    2. Click **Create an invitation**
    3. Enter your partner's email address or username
    4. Under **Access Type**, select **Request access to their devices**
    5. Click **Send invitation**
  </Step>

  <Step title="Partner accepts the invitation">
    Your partner must sign into their account (where the Lockbox is paired) and accept your invitation.

    <Check>
      Once accepted, your username appears on their **Settings** > **Partners** page with the message "This user can control and modify your devices."
    </Check>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Control your partner's Lockbox

After your partner accepts the invitation, you can manage their devices from your own account.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Switch to your partner's account view">
    Click the **Your Account** dropdown in the top-left navigation bar, then select your partner's account from the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Manage lock sessions">
    From your partner's account view, you can:

    * View their current session and stats on the **Chastity Lockbox** > **Home** page
    * Create new lock sessions using the **Chastity Lockbox** > **Templates** page

    See [How to start a lock from the dashboard](./start-a-lock) for detailed instructions.
