What to ask for

Ask for: Delegate access at the Products & Domains level User access
Minimum safe access: Domains Only, if you only need specific domains: the client picks each one under My Domains.
Client needs: Sign-in to the GoDaddy account that holds the domains.

Ask for Delegate access at the Products & Domains level and nothing broader. The smallest role that does the job is easier for the client to approve, easier to audit later, and simpler to remove when the work ends. If the scope of work grows, ask again for the larger role rather than requesting it up front.

What breaks if the role is wrong

Too lowDomains Only covers only the specific domains the client picks under My Domains, and leaves out products.
Too highProducts, Domains, & Purchase also lets the delegate buy products with credit cards stored in the client's profile. Payment information stays hidden, but it's more than most agency work needs.
