graphic designers authorization
-
I have a graphic designer working on my company website and would like her to be able to contact you with any questions. Can you set up authorization for me please?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can add that person as an official user of the site.
You cannot password protect a whole site hosted by wordpress.COM. That can be done only on a wordpress.ORG software install on paid hosting. On a wordpress.com hosted site you can only password protect posts and pages in the site.
You cannot issue username accounts and passwords on any site hosted by wordpress.COM. That can be done only on a wordpress.ORG software install on paid hosting. See: Moving to self hosted WordPress http://move.wordpress.com
re: adding users to a wordpress.COM site
Read: Administrator https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator
What I post below applies only to sites hosted by wordpress.COM.
You can have either a public or a private WordPress.COM hosted blog and there is no limitation on the total number of contributors to any blog. If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. Contributors cannot upload images. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the site, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings
Then see:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-users-to-your-site
https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-viewers-to-a-private-siteUsername accounts are required but registering blogs under them is not required. The invitees will have to register a WordPress.COM username account which requires an email address only, but they do not need to register a blog. That requirement is because the software has to be able to differentiate between hackers and official users and allow access only to those with username accounts and official roles on the blog.
If the person being invited to contribute to your blog does not already have one, he or she will have to register a WordPress.COM username account. He or she does not need to register a blog. There is a just a username please option. The invitees who lack username accounts select the “username only” option here: https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1
NOTE that as you have an account you would have to log out and clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies to witness the process as the invitees without accounts would experience it.
Upon receipt of the invitation, the invitee will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If the invitee is logged into their WordPress.com username account, he or she will be taken directly to your blog. If not, he or she will be taken to the log-in screen, where he or she can either log in, or can register a new WordPress.COM user account.
The invitees need to be logged into their WordPress.com account prior to clicking the “Accept Invitation” link.
Note that invitees who do create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.

The number 10 is the number of outstanding invitations you can have at any point in time. That limitation is a spammer prevention measure. Wait until the invitees have registered and send out 10 more. -

The only form of authorization is by adding official users to the site.
Also note that there is rarely ever a question posed that has not already been asked and answered many times over so the most expeditious and sensible thing to do is to clearly state exactly what the questions are in a support thread like this one and we will answer them.

May say more please? WordPress.COM is a turn key blogging platform with off the shelf themes for people who do not code. There is no need to hire a web designer to set up any site hosted here. You cannot create and use any custom them or upload any third party theme. You cannot install any plugins.
If one wants to create a site from scratch and/or create a custom theme then they hire a web host, and a web designer, and set up a wordpress.ORG software install.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Editing to provide missing letter: You cannot create and use any custom theme or upload any third party theme. You cannot install any plugins.
The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
We cannot:
upload any third party themes,
create child themes,
create our own themes,
edit templates,
create own own layouts,
or use stylesheets from other themes.There is no FTP access to any wordpress.com sites. See:
Themes »Uploading Custom Themes
http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/P.S. Also be keenly aware that you cannot transfer any theme from https://wordpress.com/themes/ which is licensed and adapted to run on WordPress.COM software to a WordPress.ORG site, and visa versa. The two run on different software and have different versions of themes with the same names. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
Lastly, note that there is no e commerce capability on any sites hosted by wordpress.COM, regardless of upgrades. So if you want a shopping cart for an online store you need to see: Moving to self hosted wordpress https://wordpress.om
